There is no shortage of statistics or reports showing the lack of reproductive health care, and its effects, in Pennsylvania:
- More than 105,000 women between 18-44 years of age have limited or no access to maternity care, Physician General Denise Johnson has said.
- A study from the Center for Rural Pennsylvania found that 19 counties have hospitals that do not have obstetric services.
- The ratio of pregnancy-related deaths in the state in 2021 was 82 deaths per 100,000 births, according to the latest report from the Pennsylvania Maternal Mortality Review Committee.
