The Post Roe Baby Boom: Inside Mississippi’s Maternal Health Crisis

USA TODAY and The Tennessean

Thousands more babies are expected to be born each year in Mississippi after the state’s restrictive abortion ban was passed in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In this documentary episode of USA Today’s States of America viewers are taken to the Mississippi Delta to witness how these pregnancies are playing out, particularly for women in rural areas where the maternal healthcare system was already pushed to its brink.
