The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country and significant racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes. We must take bold action now to save moms' lives and advance birth equity. We must pass the #Momnibus.

The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a destructive setback for ob-gyns and patients. However, we’ll continue with unwavering resolve to support all people who struggle against interference with the patient–physician relationship.

We must advance evidence-based solutions, like my Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, to end maternal mortality, so that Black moms don't approach motherhood with fear and dread. We can transform our maternity care system so everyone can experience joyful parenthood.
