States that restricted abortion are avoiding looking at maternal mortality

In a September meeting, leaders of the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee said the change was made to “be more contemporary” — allowing them to skip over a backlog of older cases and review deaths closer to the date when they occurred, and therefore offer more relevant recommendations to policymakers.

So fucking stupid. They aren’t reviewing deaths from 2022 or 2023

Other maternal mortality committees in states with abortion bans have faced significant turbulence since the fall of Roe. In Idaho — a state with a near-total abortion ban — the Republican-led legislature dissolved the state’s committee in 2023. While the committee was reestablished with a law passed earlier this year, the situation has resulted in significant delays in the review process.
And in Georgia last week, the state’s public health commissioner dismissed all members of the state’s maternal mortality committee after ProPublica obtained confidential information about two deaths that occurred in the state, where abortion is banned after six weeks of pregnancy.
