Summary
Republican-led states with near-total abortion bans are delaying or halting maternal mortality reviews, raising concerns about efforts to conceal rising deaths.

Georgia fired its entire Maternal Mortality Review Committee after leaks about preventable deaths.
Critics argue these actions aim to suppress evidence linking abortion bans to maternal fatalities, delaying accountability for years.
