"The U.S. is one of only 13 countries where rates of maternal mortality are worse today than they were 25 years ago. The U.S. also ranks 32nd out of 35 of the richest nations in the deaths of infants, often from preventable factors."

"No nation as rich and advanced as the United States should have new moms and infants--especially women and babies of color--dying at the rates we are currently seeing. It is a national tragedy."

"Regardless of what one thinks about abortion, shouldn't we be holding hearings and developing solutions on these unacceptable maternal and infant mortality rates?"

"The #MOMMAAct is a bill I've intro'd w/@SenDuckworth & @RepRobinKelly to address & reduce maternal deaths, especially for moms & babies of color, who are at heightened risk. We have to ask ourselves what we need to do as a country so mothers & infants can survive pregnancies."

"More from my remarks at today's Judiciary Committee hearing:"
