We all do/should. I don’t know if it has gotten worse or if I have just started to realize how bad it actually is but, this state sucks in a lot of ways.
because one of them might as well be statistically insignificant
Edit: You can downvote me all you want, but the burden of proof lies with the person making the statement, not with everyone else reading it. so fuck right off.
Here’s an article with a graph. Given that the figures are measured per 100,000 live births, one would need to find how many births occurred in the state of Texas in the years graphed. I was able to find that exact figure for 2022 in a document from the CDC (on page 8) which comes out to 389,533. Since the overall Texas maternal mortality rate was about 28.5 per 100k births for that year (per the news article), the total number of mortalities would have been about 110.
If you want I could go find the figure for earlier years as well, but this should serve as a general ballpark the numbers are in. Keep in mind that the maternal mortality rate only factors in live births, so does not include any pregnancy complications involving an unviable fetus.
Texas has over a 50% increase in maternal fatality rates.
Quit reminding me I need to leave this place.

from 2 to 3 or from 100 to 150?

So many that there are statistics grouped by race and counted as “deaths per 10,000 live births”
