They probably say it’s an act of God when these babies and mothers die.

Georgia was much nicer in my experience than Alabama, but this was many years ago. They (GA) allowed midwifery which meant that I was able to get most prenatal care for a low risk pregnancy from someone who wasn’t just in a rush and overwhelmed. Vs Alabama with one provider for many many people who must be a “doctor” even if everything is going smoothly and they’re like hold on – don’t push doc isn’t here yet. Uh, mam that’s not how this works, and why do I need him anyway? Get here or don’t, IDC.

Tennessee has the highest maternal mortality rate in the country and ranks among the worst for infant mortality.

Good Lord people.
