"This #MothersDay is an important reminder that we as a country must do more to reverse tragic health outcomes for pregnant mothers and their infants. The United States is one of only 13 countries in the world where the maternal mortality rate is worse now than it was 25 years ago"
"Too often in our country, new moms & infants -- especially women & babies of color -- are dying from preventable health complications. In IL, African American women are 6 times more likely than white women to die of a pregnancy-related complication. This is completely unacceptable."
"Something must be done, which is why @RepRobinKelly, @SenDuckworth, and I introduced the #MOMMAact. I spoke about our bill on the Senate floor this week:"
