Any legit pro-life medical review committee would be clamoring to review the skyrocketing rate of maternal and infant deaths in Texas since its abortion ban. That is, unless the forced-birth crowd doesn’t want Texans to know that the “pro-life” law is killing women and babies.
The Texas committee that examines all pregnancy-related deaths in the state will not review cases from 2022 and 2023, the first two years after Texas’s near-total abortion ban took effect, leaving any potential deaths related to abortion bans during those years uninvestigated by the 23 doctors, medical professionals and other specialists who make up the group.
The decision by the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee was supposedly done to make their review “more contemporary,” and skip over a backlog that will allow “more relevant recommendations to policymakers,” as The Post put it.
