Mexico’s rate was 33 maternal deaths per 100000 births in 2017, and trending down by about 3% per annum, so is perhaps down to 28 now. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/MEX/mexico/maternal-mortality-rate https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/MEX/mexico/maternal-mo... To no one’s surprise, Louisiana’s maternal mortality rate is 58.1 deaths per 100,000 births, the highest in the US (which itself has the highest rate among developed countries.) To my surprise, New Jersey rolls in at number 4, at 38.1 deaths per 100,000. Texas, bordering Mexico, has a rate of 34.5 — higher than Mexico five years ago. Arizona, 27.3, not really better than Mexico. If a Mexican mother wants safety better than Mexico’s, she’d best head to California where the rate is 4 maternal deaths per 100000 births. She’s otherwise better off staying in Mexico. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/maternal-mortality-rate-by-state https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/maternal-mo... Maternal death rates in the US have been rising, and are going to soar now that a couple dozen states are banning women’s health services. The country is heading straight down the shitter if it doesn’t change direction.
