Here’s an article with a graph. Given that the figures are measured per 100,000 live births, one would need to find how many births occurred in the state of Texas in the years graphed. I was able to find that exact figure for 2022 in a document from the CDC (on page 8) which comes out to 389,533. Since the overall Texas maternal mortality rate was about 28.5 per 100k births for that year (per the news article), the total number of mortalities would have been about 110.
If you want I could go find the figure for earlier years as well, but this should serve as a general ballpark the numbers are in. Keep in mind that the maternal mortality rate only factors in live births, so does not include any pregnancy complications involving an unviable fetus.
It looks like its something like 135 ish per year to 210 ish per year (its like 407 over a 3 year period) in texas with a dramatic increase in pregnancy-related fatalies among white and black women. Note that the avg increase over the same time nationwide is something like 11% (other states also implemented bans) so this is possibly wholly explainable with abortion bans.
from 2 to 3 or from 100 to 150?
because one of them might as well be statistically insignificant
So many that there are statistics grouped by race and counted as “deaths per 10,000 live births”
