Without Roe v. Wade, U.S. Maternal Mortality Rates May Get Even Worse
The United States is a surprisingly dangerous place to be pregnant. The U.S. maternal mortality rate—nearly 24 deaths per 100,000 live births, as of 2020—is far higher than in comparable developed nations, and research shows it has gotten worse in recent years, not better.

Update to living systematic review on covid-19 in pregnancy, BMJ
This living systematic review on coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) by Allotey and colleagues (BMJ 2020;370:m3320) has been updated.
