Black mothers in New York state were 2.3 times more likely than white mothers to experience potentially life-threatening complications during or after childbirth, according to a new report to be released this week

Last September, Shamony Makeba Gibson was discharged after the birth of her second child and was in pain. It wasn’t just the caesarean section. She didn’t feel right, wasn’t managing daily activities, and in the evenings felt hot and had difficulty breathing.

Why?

Abortion is rough

Keep the racism going WSJ! An astroid needs to come down from the sky and annihilate your HQ

Hello!!!! Pre-natal care might be a contributor. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Now do abortion rates

Why ? What’s the difference.? Stop the stigmatization of people. It’s just self care before and after birth. Ohh. Now it’s about money- who can pay for the best treatment. Humanity has lost its way in so many ways. We have become soooo empty. Oh hhh the bills to pay.

White women have wider ‘birthing hips’ thus less likely to need a c-section. Also hypertension is a complication that is increased with poor pain management, hypertension is more prevalent in the black community.

UNIVERSALHEALTHCARE is a priority in every G8 nation minus the United States. Not a coincidence!

I thought it was nation wide. Complications due to chronic conditions like obesity hypertension diabetes etc.

I'm sorry. But it seems that every story these days is how Blacks have everything worse, from medical issues, to childbirth, to housing, to jobs, etc. I almost expect the next story to be 'Blacks 10 times more likely to be hit by a meteor.' GMAFB

I believe it's diet/stress. They place way too much effort into trying to please the world with the things that mean the least. When we all learn to be thankful for the smallest of things, what you deem big things will mean very little. Then when there's nothing to worry about,

Universal healthcare would fix this delta. Just sayin.

Fuck'n Ron DeSantis strikes again

Some of th3se comments are missing the point. Imagine ignoring statistics about who suffers from osteoporosis more often or who suffers from suicide more often because it's 'race-baiting.' These stats can inform policies and reform, and they increase awareness, too...

Child birth is now racist. YouCantMakeItUp.

Something sinister is being suggested here that the WSJ should be ashamed to be a part of.

This is an old study but it needs to stay in the news!

Wtf is this headline, race bait, wsj why don't you do the one who is having more abortions blacks or white you love your race war so much do that one too

This could be the most ridiculous article I’ve read in awhile 😂. Dang those racist “insert” - Hospitals

Stirring the racial pot once again WSJ?
