The rate of Black women who died of pregnancy or childbirth rose 26% from 2019, according to a new report. The rate of Hispanic women who died rose 44%.

• Why? Minority women already face health-care barriers, and the pandemic likely made them worse, experts say.

Very powerful. I had never heard Paul's song. 80! How can that be? Happy Birthday, Paul. What a great tribute to him, Mike. Thanks. I will look for the video. It sounds amazing.

Powerful words for a critical time in our history. If a man had to go through the trauma of a lost pregnancy or a rape, this would not even be a topic of discussion. Women need to keep standing up for their rights and refuse to go back to being a second class citizen.

Hello Michael, I can well imagine that you know exactly how it feels to appreciate someone so deeply and enthusiastically and profoundly, but it feels that there are not enough words available to express this appreciation. Of course, you are very eloquent, so this may not be the case for you. But it is for me. Even though you speak about such difficult subjects, about things in our society which we so wish weren't true but are, you still manage to somehow gladden my heart and fill me with hope -- and action. Thank you from the depths of my heart and being for who you are, one of the best Americans we have ever been able to produce. (I'll add, in a fairly lighthearted way, that if you ever decide to eat a vegan diet, in my kind of humble opinion, you will have attained sainthood, which is not even something you want, I know, I know.) THANK YOU, MICHAEL MOORE. Sincerely, Nancy Loewen, San Francisco, California
