•Georgia Dismissed All Members of Maternal Mortality Committee After ProPublica Obtained Internal Details of Two Deaths
72% Informative
Georgia officials dismiss all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women.
The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths.
Maternal mortality review committees exist in every state.
They are tasked with examining deaths of women during a pregnancy or up to a year after and determining whether they could be prevented.
The committee found that Georgia 's six-week abortion ban was "preventable" and blamed the state’s abortion ban.
The committee also investigated the case of Amber Thurman , who died one month after the law went into effect.
Some experts say keeping the reports of maternal mortality review committees confidential is important for a committee to serve its purpose.
