Texas’ maternal health report was set to release on Sept. 1. Instead, the state is delaying the release — until after midterm elections. Delaying our access to information — which includes the consequences of Texas’ abortion ban — puts pregnant people at risk and leaves voters in the dark.

Texas' delay of maternal death report hurts women, lawmakers say

The highly anticipated report, which includes deaths that occurred after Texas banned abortions, has recommendations on how to reduce pregnancy risks.
