For every 1,000 deliveries by Black women, 2.3 are investigated compared with 1.3 for white women, highlighting systemic healthcare issues.

Disparities in maternal care are not just due to individual bias but stem from institutional failures, like false biological beliefs perpetuated in the medical field.
