It looks like its something like 135 ish per year to 210 ish per year (its like 407 over a 3 year period) in texas with a dramatic increase in pregnancy-related fatalies among white and black women. Note that the avg increase over the same time nationwide is something like 11% (other states also implemented bans) so this is possibly wholly explainable with abortion bans.
huh, that's really interesting. It seems to be a too large increase to just be statistical error, but I'm not a statistician.
The difference between 11% nationwide and 50% in the state really implies it is related to something texas-specific with abortion-bans coming to mind first.
It would be interesting to see a spreadsheet between banned and allowed states with their corresponding mortality rates. But that seems a tad bit too much effort, given that I'm not even from the US lol
