And we need to speak this truth because today, the United States is 1 of only 13 countries in the world where the rate of [[Maternal mortality in the United States|maternal mortality]] is worse than it was 25 years ago. That risk is even higher for Black women, who are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related causes. These numbers are simply outrageous."</blockquote>In May 2023, Christine Michel Carter endorsed the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act when it was reintroduced to Congress by Representative [[Lauren Underwood]] and Senator [[Cory Booker]] under the [[Black Maternal Health Caucus]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sainato |first=Michael |date=2023-07-23 |title='A critical emergency': America's Black maternal mortality crisis |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/23/america-black-maternal-mortality-crisis |access-date=2023-07-25 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Representative Lauren Underwood |url=http://underwood.house.gov/home |access-date=2023-07-25 |website=Representative Lauren Underwood |language=en}}</ref> The legislation consists of 13 individual bills and aims to address the maternal health crisis in the United States.
