Well...damn. Something else to drink about I guess. ._.

I have been hearing about the death during birth rate going up. Does anyone know why?

Our maternal healthcare sucks ass, especially for black women.

I have heard that too. But what is going on that it would actually decline? Think about it. Black women didn't exactly have a great time 70, 60, 50, 40 etc years ago. How is it going up?

Healthcare system truly that broke? Just curious on what is really causing it?

I can't read the article as it is asking for a log in so i'm going to make a guess here at modern lifestyle.

A hundred years ago your life as a woman consisted of little more than baking bread, cleaning the house and pumping out babies. It was the men who went to war, had unhealthy lifestyles, handled asbestos, breathed in lead fumes from lead paint etc.

Nowadays women smoke, drink, are obese, don't exercise, have unprotected sex with multiple partners, take part in extreme sports, work in dangerous jobs and sometimes even go to war. it should not be a suprise that women's lifespans aren't as impressive anymore.

And as for the question about death in childbirth, its all linked. If you are are obese with ashy lungs and a bad liver then you are going to be less up to the massive strain of childbirth. Its the same for the career women who have kids later and later on. The ideal age for a kid is 18-25 - that is medical fact. You put that off even ten years you are at risk.

And before anyone accuses me of getting at women, its the same for men. Sperm counts are in the crapper probably due to too many Big Mac's and man-made chemicals.

The article blames it on the big increase in suicide and homicide over the last few years, and also notes homicide is the most common cause of death during pregnancy.

homicide is the most common cause of death during pregnancy.

Fuck...

Oh. That's disgraceful.

Dude, what the fuck?

What the fuck what? I literally have no idea what you mean.

Do you honestly think that our modern lifestyles are not a major contributing factor to our lifespans stalling?

We. Are. The. Unhealthiest. That. We. Have. Ever. Been.

We're ridiculously fat, we eat vast quantities of food with no nutritional value that is full of chemicals, we're massively indulgent on every single vice, many barely get any sunlight at all as they are glued to their monitors in darkened rooms, we have statistically one of the loneliest populations in recorded history, and the exercise rate for the average person is close to zero.

It is also a fact like it or not that women simply were not allowed to live these lifestyles until a few decades ago. Women weren't even allowed their own bank account in America until 1974. The West didn't used to be too far behind the Middle East in its restrictions on women and that is within the living memory of Gen X - not some far flung past.

If you're referring to what the article actually says, I literally said that I didn't read it, and I expressed my horror when it was explained to me.
