Silly girl, I am not promoting Samual Taylor's ideology, I was simply browsing the internet that summarized the FBI database and came across that link. I looked at the summary and it appeared accurate based on the research I have done. The primary source for my research is the FBI databases on crime.
Here is the link to the FBI database where all national statistics on this subject are housed... in this link the data comes from 2018. Don't deflect, go through the database and tell me my argument was wrong based on that data.

Virtually all scholarly studies use or refer to this database to study the issue. So if you are serious about understanding violent crime, law enforcement, and race, get familiar with it.
It is the only national database I am aware of that tracks all violent crimes by race of the "offender". I don't like to use it in its pure form because it includes a lot of crime which I don't consider violent. But if you are serious, in wanting to be an informed individual on the subject, then start with the FBI database.
The OB/GYN Group I ran was in South Florida that (delivered more than 1300 babies per month) broke up a few years ago because it became to exorbitantly expensive in the State of Florida to provide OB/GYNs malpractice insurance and we were unwilling to operate as "a group" without it.
This quote does a decent job of summarizing the problem.
"South Florida, referring to Miami and Palm Beach, became the territory where medical malpractice insurance companies were very reluctant to offer policies to physicians practicing medicine. Liberal jury awards in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties drove medical malpractice premiums to be some of the highest in the country. As a result, premiums for OB/GYN medical malpractice insurance rose to rates of over $200,000 per year. Many physicians and surgeons took advantage of asset protection and began practicing without medical malpractice insurance coverage in place."
We lost several million dollar lawsuits even after it was determined our physician did nothing wrong other than to deliver a poor woman's baby for free when she came into a hospital's emergency in labor and had never seen an OB/GYN before that moment. The jury's did not find us guilty, it found the baby needed a "trust fund" in order to care for the numerous birth defects the baby had because of the lifestyle of the mother (substance abuse) and poor prenatal care. The judgement may have been well intended, but it destroyed access to malpractice judgements to those women who were harmed through not fault of their own, when physicians simply went without malpractice coverage.
So you need not worry about steering poor African American women away. But that does not address the issue I raised which was real and which you deflected either out of ignorance or unwillingness to confront.
Deflecting won't solve the problem, because the reasons that poor women of all races have bad medical outcomes is the lack of prenatal care combined with the associated social factors pertaining to poor single pregnant woman in general.
Note the USC article on the subject...
"Certain groups of women are less likely to get early prenatal care: Poor, black, Hispanic, unmarried, lacking a high-school diploma and teens. A major factor is whether the pregnancy is unplanned.
Wow! Where have you heard that before? Oh, I remember... in my previous response. Blaming things on racism when they are linked to other things distracts from solving the problem... in this case poor prenatal care for a range of reasons non of which are directly a function of race.
Your remonstrations add to the problem rather than address it. Now what does the WHO say on the subject of maternal death on a worldwide basis...
"Maternal mortality is unacceptably high. About 295 000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2017. The vast majority of these deaths (94%) occurred in low-resource settings, and most could have been prevented. (1)"
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/maternal-mortality
Let me help you... "low-resource settings" means poverty. What did I say? Let me quote...
"Well if you look at a related CDC study you find "poverty" is the reason and not race for higher infant mortality rates and I am confident from my experience that maternal mortality rates are directly linked to poverty."
Isn't it strange how my experience supports the finding of the CDC, the WHO, and virtually every scholarly study on the subject.
Wake up smell the coffee... decide to be different... study the data... don't let someone give you your opinion... don't deflect... dive headfirst and study the issues of our day with an open mind...
