The noise about 'Hunter Biden's laptop' is obscuring a report from the Texas government about a report on a real world tragedy: the hundreds of mothers in this state who have died during or after childbirth over the past decade.
The Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee report, delayed by more than three months, estimates that up to 90% of the deaths may have been preventable. Severe complications from pregnancy and childbirth also increased significantly.
Delay means lawmakers won’t likely be able to use the analysis until the 2025 legislative cycle. The most recent state-level data available is nine years old.
