There’s a pretty straightforward accountability story today: Four pro-life organizations are asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to release overdue abortion data — which includes information on maternal mortality. Currently, the most recent available information is from 2022 — and we are approaching 2027. The delay should be explained and remedied. This should not be merely of pro-life concern, but anyone who considers women’s health care a priority.
“We believe women should be provided with excellent healthcare, starting with accurate public health information,” stated the October 14 letter, addressed to Erica Schwartz, the current director of the CDC. “We are not asking the CDC to end using the WHO definition of MMR but instead recommend that the current MMR metric be used primarily as an international comparator.”
