SR 191: Black Maternal Health Statistics; recognize

This resolution (SR 191) recognizes Georgia's stark racial disparities in maternal health outcomes, specifically highlighting that Black women in Georgia are almost three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than non-Hispanic white women. It cites Georgia's high maternal mortality rate - nearly double the national average - and notes that 34.6% of Georgia counties are "maternity care deserts," limiting access to essential services. The resolution acknowledges systemic racism in healthcare as a key factor in these disparities and emphasizes that preventable deaths and complications are prevalent. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new policies or funding but formally calls attention to these statistics to support future health equity efforts.
