    We need to protect our mothers REGARDLESS of race OR sexual orientation. Too many mothers didn’t get to go home with their babies, to their families. Please take action.

    I am overwhelmed by the number of comments from moms who lost their babies. I am writing after hearing of a preventable death at Northside Hospital here in Atlanta Georgia. I feel sure this is not the only one that has occurred. When "caregivers" pull the umbilical cord after the mom gives birth and end up pulling the mom's womb from her body, this is a clear case of malpractice which should never be tolerated and should result in immediate action against the hospital and personnel responsible!!!

    The mothers of the babies deserved better healthcare! Lost my daughter February 2018. U.S. public disclosure is a must as to where and why these deaths occurred in this modern day of medicine!

    As a three-time survivor of maternal near-miss, the mother of four, and the founder of the Preeclampsia Foundation and the Unexpected Project, AND as someone who spoke to the US House in 2003 about the need for such a bill, I implore you, fifteen years later, but not too late - TAKE ACTION to save Moms!

    As a survivor of HELLP Syndrome, my son and I barely survived. I have permenant eye damage and I lost my friend recently to HELLP Syndrome too. ALL women deserve safe births. We deserve to feel heard by our providers. We deserve the same level of care for us as our babies are given. We deserve to be educated by our providers. We deserve care that follows guidelines and the support we need physically and emotionally after such traumas. We demand safer conditions for pregnancy and birth. Because only in America is the maternal mortality rate rising more than any other first world nation. We will resist!
