Black Birth and Maternal Mortality in the U.S.A.

Birth in America has gotten exremely dangerous. Maternal mortality rates continue to rise. African-American mortality rates are four to six times higher than the mortality rate of other mothers. Something must be done to fix this crisis.

Maddy Oden, mother to three children and grandmother of ten, has experienced the ravaging affects of maternal mortality. Since the untimely death of her daughter, Maddy has started a non profit organization, The Tatia Oden French Memorial Foundation. The sole purpose of the Foundation is to educate women around the issues of pregnancy and birth. Their primary focus is on off label use of drugs, informed consent and maternal mortality. They give presentations at schools, churches, conferences  and anywhere there are women of childbearing age.

We currently have an open petition to the FDA with over 3,000 both on and off line, regarding Cytotec inductions. Please visit our website at www.tatia.org For more information on Cytotec please just google it. ( Also called misoprostol).
