http://www.amnestyusa.org/maternalhealth The United States is facing a maternal health crisis. Two to three women die of pregnancy-related complications every day. African American women are nearly 4 times more likely to die than white women. And deaths are just the tip of the iceberg: 34,000 women come close to dying from complications of pregnancy and childbirth each year. A safe pregnancy is a human right for every woman regardless of race or income.
