Maternal deaths in the US rose 40% in 2021 (the latest year for which data is available), and the highest rate in over 55 years.

Women who give birth today are 4x more likely to die in the process than were their own mothers.

The rate was going up, even before the Covid pandemic started, but Covid worsened the problem.
