Ironically, they're killed in the womb at a much greater rate by "choice" and that's not racism.

TL/DR the whole thing, but it seems like they are saying that medical problems (less frequently insured, poorer dietary and health practices, diabetes, etc) are due to racism and these general problems cause a higher incidence of mothers dying during child birth.

Okay, but you could just as easily say the same thing about anything. African American are more likely to die while rock climbing than whites are because they are more likely to have a heart attach due to lack of health insurance, diabetes, etc, which results in a heart attack during physical activity. That doesn't make the rock gym racist.

The real issue is how do we best help the poor have access to quality medical care and help them improve their circumstances. The democrat answer is to make sure that health care is equally poor for everyone (except for the ultra-wealthy). The Republican answer is improve the economy and encourage jobs.
