News From The StatesREPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS TODAY\n\nThanks for being here and supporting our work.  \nBy Elisha Brown  \nExperts say at-home nurse programs could help pregnant and postpartum Alaskans living in rural areas.(Getty Images)  \nAn analysis of Alaska's maternal mortality rates discovered that more new mothers died fromdomestic violence or overdose causes than medical complications.  \nBetween 2016 and 2022,more than 70%of Alaskans who died within a year of childbirth hada history of intimate partner violence or substance use.Health employees and birth workersin the state are working to increase access to both providers and safety resources,AlaskaBeacon reports.  \n\"If you've been healthy enough to be pregnant,you shouldn't be dying,\"said Ness Verigin,who manages the Maternal and Child Death Review.\"It's a time when protection and safety  \nand health should be wrapped around a person.And the fact that violence is more commonduring that time is a serious problem.”  \nProviders often screen for domestic violence,and Verigin said a doctor's office can serve as asafe space for survivors to share their experiences away from their abusers.  \nJennifer Harlos,a nurse and a member of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium,saiddomestic violence can also exacerbate pregnancy-related deaths.  \n\"If you aren't allowed to leave the house,then you're not going to go to your appointment.And if you know that your partner is going to drink and hurt your children,then you're notgoing to get admitted to the hospital,\"Harlos said.  \nPregnant people who have suffered domestic abuse are at higher risks of issues likepreterm labor or abruption—when the placenta detaches from the womb due toabdominal trauma,high blood pressure or substance use—and intrauterine growthrestriction brought on by stress,according to Harlos.  \nThe stakes are especially high for rural Alaskans,and Native women,who make up themajority of pregnancy-associated deaths in the state,Harlos said.  \nVerigin said pregnant or postpartum people are possibly using drugs as a coping mechanismfor enduring abuse.\"It's a way of numbing the pain and surviving,\"they said.  \nAlaska's maternal health experts say home nurse programs should be expanded.The  \nMaternal Child and Death Review partners with an Alaska Native birth worker program forculturally-congruent care through an annual $250,000 grant.A crowd-funded group of doulasand lactation consultants called Alaska Native Birth Workers Collective also provides freecare to Indigenous families.  \nAbra Patkotak,co-creator of the collective,said most medical providers are not AlaskaNatives and struggle to comprehend what families undergo just to get to a hospital.Patkotakand other birth workers help Native pregnant patients navigate medical spaces and work tokeep them safe at home.  \n## THE BEAT States Newsroom coverage\n\nMontana abortion rights advocates launch ballotpetition campaign  \nAbortion could be on the ballot in Montana in 2024.Voters in the state rejected an anti-abortion constitutionalamendment last year.(Getty Images)  \nPlanned Parenthood Advocates of Montana submitted a ballot initiative last week thatwould protect personal decisions about pregnancy,including the right to abortion upto fetal viability.A1999 state Supreme Court ruling solidified abortion rights based onprivacy,but a constitutional amendment would make that protection explicit,Daily Montananreports.\"Courts wouldn't have to interpret what the constitution might mean,because it wouldbe spelled out in the constitution,\"said Christopher Coburn,a Planned Parenthoodspokesperson.  \nMontana's Republican supermajority passed anti-abortion legislation that Gov.GregGianforte approved this spring,but the laws are temporarily blocked by the courts.  \nMontana voters rejected an anti-abortion measure legislators placed on the ballot lastyear.Citizen-led abortion initiatives have had success in several states since the U.S.Supreme Court overturned Roe v.Wade in June 2022.But Cobu","cbCaipmPQ9DtHyxT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipmPQ9DtHyxT","pdf",1746350,"English","# News From The
