As is the infinite mortality rate.
I've recently heard baby size/ weight (read: over-weight) being a significant contributor to problems during birth.
It would be helpful to a general assessment of "general health" of pregnant women by state.

USA on this chart of worst to best is 173 of 227. Flipped over best to worst, that means the USA is out of the Top 50. Which is so embrassassing that no political leaders are willing to mention it.
