THE DOMINO EFFECT – A woman in the United States is currently twice as likely to die during pregnancy as her mother was a generation ago, indicating that the country is experiencing a maternal health crisis. Sharyn Alfonsi visits Louisiana to report on the state of maternal healthcare in the United States, which has some of the highest maternal mortality rates and where women already face additional obstacles to care due to the state’s abortion ban. The producer is Ashley Velie.
