In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 21, 2008. 
Whereas an estimated 536,000 women die during pregnancy 
and childbirth every year which is equivalent to one death 
every minute; 
Whereas an estimated 15 percent of pregnancies and child-
births involve unpredictable and often life-threatening 
complications that require emergency care; 
Whereas girls under 15 are estimated to be 5 times more 
likely to die during childbirth than women in their 20s; 
Whereas nearly all these deaths are preventable; 
Whereas survival rates greatly depend upon the distance and 
time a woman must travel to get skilled emergency med-
ical care; 
Whereas care by skilled birth attendants, nurses, midwives, 
or doctors during pregnancy and childbirth, including 
emergency services, and care for mothers and newborns 
is essential; 
Whereas the poorer the household, the greater the risk of ma-
ternal death, and 99 percent of maternal deaths occur in 
developing countries;
•HRES 1022 EH 
Whereas newborns whose mothers die of any cause are 3 to 
10 times more likely to die within 2 years than those 
whose mothers survive; 
Whereas more than 1,000,000 children are left motherless 
and vulnerable every year; 
Whereas young girls are often pulled from school and re-
quired to fill their lost mother’s roles; 
Whereas a mother’s death lowers family income and produc-
tivity which affects the entire community; 
Whereas in countries with similar levels of economic develop-
ment, maternal mortality is highest where women’s sta-
tus is lowest; 
Whereas the United States ranks 41st among 171 countries 
in the latest UN list ranking maternal mortality; 
Whereas the overall United States maternal mortality ratio is 
now 11 deaths per 100,000 live births, one of the highest 
rates among industrialized nations; 
Whereas United States maternal deaths have remained 
roughly stable since 1982 and have not declined signifi-
cantly since then; 
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control estimates that the 
true level of United States maternal deaths may be 1.3 
to 3 times higher than the reported rate; and 
Whereas ethnic and racial disparities in maternal mortality 
rates persist and in the United States maternal mortality 
among black women is almost four times the rate among 
non-Hispanic white women: Now, therefore, be it
