Idaho Drops Panel Investigating Pregnancy-Related Deaths as US Maternal Mortality Surges

On July 1, Idaho became the only state without a legal requirement or specialized committee to review maternal deaths related to pregnancy.

The change comes after state lawmakers, in the midst of a national upsurge in maternal deaths, decided not to extend a sunset date for the panel set in 2019, when they established the state’s Maternal Mortality Review Committee, or MMRC.

The committee was composed of a family medicine physician, an OB-GYN, a midwife, a coroner, and a social worker, in addition to others who track deaths in Idaho that occur from pregnancy-related complications. Wyoming studies its maternal deaths through a shared committee with Utah. All other states, as well as Washington, D.C., New York City, Philadelphia, and Puerto Rico, have an MMRC, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights research group.

    What can you say other then they let religion take the reins and the result is dead, dying and injured women. Out and proud as an Atheist for 50 years it’s sad comfort to know the “believers” are not infrequently the scourge of the very people they claim to “save”. There’s no heaven, but there’s a much stronger argument that hell is real and it’s right here on earth.
