By your logic there isn’t an increase in maternal deaths because they were already this high for a long time before and nobody cared, arguably an even worse sit

By your logic there isn’t an increase in maternal deaths because they were already this high for a long time before and nobody cared, arguably an even worse situation. There is no way to spin this that isn’t societal neglect of pregnancy.

The fact the pregnant box is ticked doesn't mean the death is related to pregnancy. You can get pregnant with terminal cancer and it is unlikely to end well regardless of the pregnancy. The poster above just says it makes analysis of historical statistics difficult, he is not jumping to conclusion.

First, where does the "nobody cared" come from? Second, so what you're saying is that any maternal deaths at all means society is neglecting pregnant women? Because your argument applies even if we believe there's zero maternal deaths per year and later we find out there's actually one per year.
