GOP Senator: LA’s Maternal Death Rate Is Bad If You Include Black Women

GOP Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy talks about how Louisiana has one of the highest maternal death rates in the country because Black women are included in the count and that if instances of maternal death were corrected by race then it would be reduced. The Majority Report crew discuss birth control wanting to be limited by some on the Right as many are adopting the view that life occurs at fertilization. The MR crew also talks about how Republicans like Cassidy lean on racism when talking about systemic failures, such as why women of color have higher instances of death when giving birth.
