Illinois maternal mortality report finds rise in pregnancy-related deaths By Maggie Dougherty

Capitol News Illinois mdougherty@capitolnewsillinois.com

CHICAGO — Preventable pregnancy-related deaths rose and stark racial disparities remained in the Illinois Department of Public Health’s most recent maternal mortality report. The report studied 219 deaths that occurred in Illinois in 2021 and 2022 during or within one year of pregnancy. The two committees that reviewed the deaths determined 94 to be related to pregnancy. This is an increase from past data, which have been published in two-to-three-year increments since 2015. “Each maternal death represents far more than a statistic: it is a profound and often preventable loss that leaves lasting emotional, social, and economic scars on families, communities, and society,” the report stated. “Beyond the immediate tragedy, each loss signals a broader failure to provide equitable, comprehensive, and culturally competent maternal care.” Of the pregnancy-related deaths that occurred in 2021 and 2022, the committees found 91% could have been prevented. Common causes As in past years, substance use disorder remained the most common cause of pregnancy-related death, accounting for nearly a third of the deaths in the recent data. Other leading causes included blood clots and COVID-19, which rose in prevalence as the cause of death in 12% and 11% of deaths, respectively. Deaths due to hemorrhage, or postpartum bleeding, doubled to 10% from 5% in the previous period. Black Illinoisians had the highest rate of maternal mortality at 78 deaths per 100,000 live births. The report found discrimination was present in 74% of the deaths related to Black pregnancies, making it the most common contributing factor in Black pregnancy-related deaths. In August, Gov. JB Pritzker signed House Bill 2517, requiring obstetric care providers to take anti-bias training. The course was designed to educate maternal health care providers on historic racial discrepancies to reduce implicit biases and improve health outcomes. Black mothers were more than twice as likely as white mothers to die from any pregnancy-related cause, including substance use disorder or mental health conditions, but more than three times as likely to die from purely medical pregnancy-related conditions. Obesity was the second most common contributing factor for Black maternal deaths, followed by mental health conditions and substance use disorder.

Mental health conditions can include postpartum depression, in which individuals may develop feelings of suicidal ideation or wanting to self-harm after pregnancy. Substance use disorder results in a pattern of uncontrolled use of drugs, medication or inhalants that poorly affects an individual’s ability to function, including failure to meet obligations at school, work or home. Mental health conditions were the most common contributing factor for white and Hispanic pregnancy-related deaths. Discrimination was also a factor in nearly a third of deaths for Hispanic maternal deaths, while substance use disorder was only present in 9% of deaths for that population. Substance use disorder was more prevalent in white pregnancy-related deaths than those of other racial groups, present in one-in-three deaths. The committees found that all deaths due to mental health conditions and substance use disorder were potentially preventable, with approximately 20% of those classified as having a “good chance” of prevention had there been “reasonable changes to any provider, facility, patient, community, or system.” Those with a high school education or less were more than twice as likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than those with a post-secondary education. Medicaid recipients died from pregnancy-related conditions almost four times as frequently as those with private insurance. Geography, timing Rates of pregnancy-related mortality were highest in urban counties outside of the Chicago area and in the city of Chicago, with maternal mortality rates in Chicago increasing over the last three report periods. Counties surrounding Cook County, namely DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will, had the lowest levels of pregnancy-related mortality. The maternal mortality rate in rural counties decreased marginally since the past data period. But the report noted that pregnant people in rural locations still face barriers — including lack of providers and long travel distances — to accessing specialized care for mental health services, substance use disorder and other chronic conditions. Fewer than a third of pregnancy-related deaths reviewed in the report happened during pregnancy, with 43% occurring within the first month after pregnancy and another third of deaths occurring two or more months after pregnancy. Deaths due to substance use

disorder and mental health conditions were more likely to occur after birth. Recommendations The report presents four key recommendations outlined in the Illinois Blueprint for Birth Equity, a multi-agency and stakeholder project aimed at improving maternal health care and birth outcomes in the state. The blueprint, released in September 2025 with the input of advocates, experts and health care providers, is part of a larger birth equity initiative spearheaded by Black midwives and doulas in collaboration with Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton. Those recommendations centered around expanding access to quality and specialized care. It called on health insurance plans, including Medicaid, to incentivize maternal health providers to practice in rural areas and small hospitals. It also recommended that hospitals employ a social worker or case manager to help with resource coordination and postpartum case management, as well as engaging in more coordination with community-based midwives and doulas. Building on the blueprint’s recommendations, the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services announced new coverage for pregnant and parenting Medicaid customers. That change means that Medicaid now covers home visiting services, including health education, blood pressure monitoring, behavioral health screenings, domestic violence education and screenings, stress management and service referrals. The program, which took effect on Nov. 21, 2025, was intended to bridge gaps in access to timely, quality care, according to DHFS. Home visits can replace or supplement in-clinic care for families with limited access to transportation, busy work schedules or other barriers to attending appointments. In a letter introducing the blueprint, Stratton outlined the Pritzker administration’s commitment to improving maternal health and birth equity. “Every woman deserves to bring life into this world safely and with dignity, and every family deserves to bring their child home with the resources they need to grow,” Stratton wrote. “W hether you’re in the heart of Chicago’s loop or on a farm in Tuscola, Ill., no family should welcome a new soul with grief for the one who carried it.”” Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide.

What to know about the protests now shaking Iran as tensions remain high over nuclear program By Jon Gambrell Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Widening protests in Iran sparked by the Islamic Republic’s ailing economy are putting new pressure on its theocracy. Tehran is still reeling from a 12-day war launched by Israel in June that saw the United States bomb nuclear sites in Iran. Economic pressure, which has intensified since September when the United Nations reimposed sanctions on the country over its atomic program, has put Iran’s rial currency into a free fall, now trading at some 1.4 million to $1. Meanwhile, Iran’s self-described “Axis of Resistance” — a coalition of countries and militant groups backed by Tehran — has been decimated in the years since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023. A threat by U.S. President Donald Trump warning Iran that if Tehran “violently kills peaceful protesters” the U.S. “will come to their rescue,” has taken on new meaning after American troops captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, a longtime ally of Tehran. “We’re watching it very closely,” Trump told journalists aboard Air Force One late Sunday. “If they start killing people like they have in the past, I think they’re going to get hit very hard by the United States.” Here’s what to k now about t he protests and the challenges facing Iran’s government.

How widespread the protests are

Demonstrations have reached over 220 locations in 26 of Iran’s 31 provinces, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported early Monday. The death toll had reached at least 20 killed, it added, with more than 990 arrests. The group, which relies on an activist network inside of Iran for its reporting, has been accurate in past unrest. Understanding the scale of the protests has been difficult. Iranian state media has provided little information about the demonstrations. Online videos offer only brief, shaky glimpses of people in the streets or the sound of gunfire. Journalists in general in Iran also face limits on reporting such as requiring permission to travel around the country, as well as the threat of harassment or arrest by authorities. But the protests do not appear to be stopping, even after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday said

“rioters must be put in their place.”

Why the demonstrations started

The collapse of the rial has led to a widening economic crisis in Iran. Prices are up on meat, rice and other staples of the Iranian dinner table. The nation has been struggling with an annual inflation rate of some 40%. In December, Iran introduced a new pricing tier for its nationally subsidized gasoline, raising the price of some of the world’s cheapest gas and further pressuring the population. Tehran may seek steeper price increases in the future, as the government now will review prices every three months. The protests began first with merchants in Tehran before spreading. W hile initially focused on economic issues, the demonstrations soon saw protesters chanting anti-government statements as well. Anger has been simmering over the years, particularly after the 2022 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody that triggered nationwide demonstrations.

Iran’s alliances are weakened

Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” which grew in prominence in the years after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq, is reeling. Israel has crushed Hamas in the devastating war in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah, the Shiite militant group in Lebanon, has seen its top leadership killed by Israel and has been struggling since. A lightning offensive in December 2024 overthrew Iran’s longtime stalwart ally and client in Syria, President Bashar Assad, after years of war there. Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels also have been pounded by Israeli and U.S. airstrikes. China meanwhile has remained a major buyer of Iranian crude oil, but hasn’t provided overt military support. Neither has Russia, which has relied on Iranian drones in its war on Ukraine.

The West worries about Iran’s nuclear program

Iran has insisted for decades that its nuclear program is peaceful. However, its officials have increasingly threatened to pursue a nuclear weapon. Iran had been enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels prior to the U.S. attack in June, making it the only country in the world without a nuclear weapons program to do so.

Tehran also increasingly cut back its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, as tensions increased over its nuclear program in recent years. The IAEA’s director-general has warned Iran could build as many as 10 nuclear bombs, should it decide to weaponize its program. U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran has yet to begin a weapons program, but has “undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so.” Iran recently said it was no longer enriching uranium at any site in the country, trying to signal to the West that it remains open to potential negotiations over its atomic program to ease sanctions. But there’s been no significant talks in the months since the June war.

Why relations between Iran and the US are so tense

Iran decades ago was one of the United States’ top allies in the Mideast under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who purchased American military weapons and allowed CIA technicians to run secret listening posts monitoring the neighboring Soviet Union. The CIA fomented a 1953 coup that cemented the shah’s rule. But in January 1979, the shah, fatally ill with cancer, fled Iran as mass demonstrations swelled against his rule. Then came the Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, which created Iran’s theocratic government. Later that year, university students overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, seeking the shah’s extradition and sparking the 444-day hostage crisis that saw diplomatic relations between Iran and the U.S. severed. During the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, the U.S. backed Saddam Hussein. During that conflict, the U.S. launched a one-day assault that crippled Iran at sea as part of the so-called “Tanker War,” and later shot down an Iranian commercial airliner that the U.S. military said it mistook for a warplane. Iran and the U.S. have seesawed between enmity and grudging diplomacy in the years since, and relations peaked with the 2015 nuclear deal, which saw Iran greatly limit its program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. But Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the accord in 2018, sparking tensions in the Mideast that intensified after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

Maduro

Maduro says ‘I was captured’ as he pleads not guilty to drug trafficking charges By Michael R. Sisak, Larry Neumeister and Eric Tucker Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — A defiant Nicolás Maduro declared himself “the president of my country” as he protested his capture and pleaded not guilty on Monday to the federal drug trafficking charges that the Trump administration used to justify removing him from power in Venezuela. “I was captured,” Maduro said in Spanish as translated by a courtroom reporter before being cut off by the judge. Asked later for his plea to the charges, he stated: “I’m innocent. I am not guilty. I am a decent man, the president of my country.” The courtroom appearance, Maduro’s first since he and his wife were seized from their home in a stunning middleof-the-night military operation, kicks off the U.S. government’s most consequential prosecution in decades of a foreign head of state. The criminal case in Manhattan is unfolding against a broader diplomatic backdrop of an audacious U.S.-engineered regime change that President Donald Trump has said will enable his administration to “run” the South American country. Maduro was led into court along with his co-defendant wife just before noon for the brief legal proceeding. Both put on headsets to hear the English-language proceeding as it was translated into Spanish. The couple was transported to the Manhattan courthouse under armed guard early Monday from the Brooklyn jail where they’ve been detained since arriving in the U.S. on Saturday.

A legal fight begins

As a criminal defendant in the U.S. legal system, Maduro will have the same rights as any other person accused of a crime — including the right to a trial by a jury of regular New Yorkers. But he’ll also be nearly — but not quite — unique. The stakes were made clear from the outset as Maduro, who took copious notes throughout the proceedings and wished a Happy New Year to reporters in court, repeatedly pressed his case that he had been unlawfully abducted. “I am here kidnapped,” Maduro said. “I was captured at my home in Caracas.” U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a 92-year-old Clinton appointee, inter-

rupted him, saying: “There will be time and place to go through all of this,.” Hellerstein added that Maduro’s attorney could do so later. “At this time, I just want to know if you are Nicolás Maduro Moros,” which Maduro confirmed that he was. Maduro’s lawyers are expected to contest the legality of his arrest, arguing that he is immune from prosecution as head of state. Barry Pollack, a prominent Washington lawyer whose clients have included WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, said Maduro is “head of a sovereign state and entitled to the privilege” that the status ensures. He also said the defense would raise “questions about the legality of his military abduction.” Pa nama n ia n st rong ma n M a nuel Noriega unsuccessfully tried the same immunity defense after the U.S. captured him in a similar military invasion in 1990. But the U.S. doesn’t recognize Maduro as Venezuela’s legitimate head of state — particularly after a much-disputed 2024 reelection. Maduro’s wife, Cilia Flores, also pleaded not guilty on Monday. She had bandages on her forehead and right temple, and her lawyer said had she suffered “significant injuries” during her capture. A 25-page indictment accuses Maduro and others of working with drug cartels to facilitate the shipment of thousands of tons of cocaine into the U.S. They could face life in prison if convicted. Among other things, the indictment accuses Maduro and his wife of ordering kidnappings, beatings and murders of those who owed them drug money or undermined their drug trafficking operation. That included a local drug boss’ killing in Caracas, the indictment said. Outside the courthouse, police separated protesters of the U.S. military action from pro-intervention demonstrators. Inside the courtroom, as Maduro stood to leave with federal officers, a man in the audience stood and began speaking forcefully at him in Spanish, calling him an “illegitimate” president. The man, 33-year-old Pedro Rojas, said later that he had been imprisoned by the Venezuelan regime. As deputy U.S. marshals led Maduro from the courtroom, the deposed leader looked directly at the man and shot back in Spanish: “I am a kidnapped president. I am a prisoner of war.”

Demands for Maduro’s return

The U.S. seized Maduro and his wife in a military operation early Saturday, capturing them in their home on a military base. Trump said Saturday the U.S. would “run” Venezuela temporarily and reiterated Sunday night that “we’re in charge” and told reporters on Air Force One that “we’re going to run it, fix it.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio had tried to strike a more cautious tone on Sunday morning talk shows, saying the U.S. would not govern the country day-today other than enforcing an existing “ oil quarantine.” Before his capture, Maduro and his allies claimed U.S. hostility was motivated by lust for Venezuela’s rich oil and mineral resources. Trump has suggested that removing Maduro would enable more oil to flow out of Venezuela, but oil prices rose a bit more than 1% in Monday morning trading to roughly $58 a barrel. There are uncertainties about how fast oil production can be ramped up in Venezuela after years of neglect, as well as questions about governance and oversight of the sector. Venezuela’s new interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has demanded that the U.S. return Maduro, who long denied any involvement in drug trafficking — although late Sunday she also struck a

more conciliatory tone in a social media post, inviting collaboration with Trump and “respectful relations” with the U.S. M e a n w h i l e, M a d u r o’s s o n a n d Venezuelan congressman Nicolás Maduro Guerra warned on Monday that his father’s capture could set a dangerous precedent globally. M adu ro Guer r a, a l so k now n a s “Nicolasito,” demanded that his parents be returned by American authorities and called on international support. “If we normalize the kidnapping of a head of state, no country is safe. Today it’s Venezuela. Tomorrow it could be any nation that refuses to submit. This is not a regional problem. It is a direct threat to global political stability,” Maduro Guerra said Also Monday, the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting, with the top U.N. official warning that America may have violated international law with its unilateral action. ___ Tucker reported from Washington.

New year, new vegetable: Growing beets in the northern Illinois garden By Grant McCarty Contributor

Each year, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to grow a vegetable I haven’t grown before in my garden. This is an easy resolution to keep and one that allows me to expand my gardening knowledge while adding something new to my kitchen. In 2025, that vegetable was fennel—a fun crop that both I and, unfortunately, the rabbits enjoyed. For 2026, my new vegetable will be beets. Beets are a reliable, cool-season vegetable that performs well in northern Illinois gardens. Both the roots and leafy tops are edible, nutritious, and relatively easy to grow, making beets a great choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

As you browse seed catalogs this winter, you’ll notice a wide range of beet colors and even some unusual shapes. Recommended varieties include traditional red types such as ‘Detroit Dark Red’ and ‘Ruby Queen.’ For a golden-colored beet with a mild, sweet flavor, ‘Boldor’ is a great option. If you’re looking for visual interest, ‘Chioggia’ produces striking red-and-white rings when sliced. As its name suggests, ‘Badger Flame’ is a uniquely shaped and flavored variety developed by the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Beets grow best in cool weather and can tolerate light frosts, making them ideal for spring and fall planting. In northern Illinois, seeds can be sown outdoors as

soon as the soil can be worked in late April, with successive plantings made through early summer for a continuous harvest. A late-summer planting can also provide a productive fall crop. Beets prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially during warmer periods. Good soil is key to producing smooth, well-shaped roots. Like many root vegetables, beets grow best in loose, well-drained soil amended with compost or other organic matter. Seeds should be planted about one-half inch deep and one inch apart in rows spaced 12 to 18 inches apart. What looks like a single beet seed is actually a cluster of several seeds, so thinning is needed. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to three to four inches apart

to give roots adequate room to develop. Consistent moisture throughout the growing season helps prevent tough or cracked roots. Mulching can help conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Beets generally require little fertilizer if soil fertility is adequate, but excessive nitrogen can encourage leafy growth at the expense of root development. Most varieties are ready to harvest 50 to 70 days after planting, when roots reach one and a half to three inches in diameter. With their adaptability, colorful varieties, and dual harvest of roots and greens, beets are a great vegetable worth adding to any northern Illinois garden this year. Grant is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension.

Energy & Environment

Environmental research remains essential By Dr. Robert Vogl, Ph.D.

Illinois Renewable Energy Association Contributor

When Sonia and I were working on our doctoral degrees at the University of Michigan’s School of Natural resources the program emphasized the big pollution problems of the times using the available methods, tools and procedures to assist us. It was at a time of substantial support for environmental reforms at the federal, state and local government levels based on citizen support. As alumni we recently received a booklet which highlighted a number of studies reflecting projects and the tools and procedures currently being used in the program. The tools and procedures have changed and involve more sophisticated ones such as computer models. AI and inter-disciplinary teams of professors and students. While solid citizen support still exists for environmental reforms, some resistance exists and federal support is being withdrawn from environmental reforms. The School of Natural Resources now is known as The School of the Environment and Sustainability. The booklet acknowledges we are facing

environmental setbacks and delays in addressing climate change. The faculty and students are determined to persist in creating a sustainable future. Their effort is described as powering the public good and seeking climate solutions. The booklet provides examples of projects currently being carried on at the university in the name of science and the planet. I chose a number or projects being implemented to highlight in this article as they are somewhat unique and address some future scenarios that are designed to create effective change. One project is described by author Julie Halpert as Making Ann Arbor’s Bryant Neighborhood a Model for Sustainable Energy. It involves developing understanding of the impact of a greater than a 12 hour loss of grid power for residents. There have been a number of books and articles of the potential impact of grid failures from natural ones and those caused by humans. In times of war power stations and electrical grids are often damaged or destroyed as is occurring now and is relevant. What is lacking is information from low income households as to what they seek

as essential services and what they would be willing to pay for the services after a prolonged period of grid collapse. Bryant neighborhood has experienced major flooding, followed by mold, an adjacent landfill, limited tree canopy, and holds a goal of being carbon neutral. Proposed solut ions include t ree planting, a geothermal heating system, solar energy, energy efficiency, flooding abatement and mold reduction. Such solutions could be implemented in many communities in the country in an effort seeking sustainability. Another project of interest by written by Lori Atherton is planning for accepting citizens seeking to migrate to the cities in the Great Lakes Region to escape the intense weather conditions resulting from ongoing deterioration from the damaging impacts of climate change. The Great Lakes region has an abundance of fresh water a relatively mild climate and have experienced fewer disasters compared to other parts of the country. Of particular interest would be in escaping the heat of summer anticipated as climate change accelerates. While the number of people seeking to

migrate is unknow there are predictable impacts on people and the cities from a major migration. Developing plans for dealing with the impacts could be helpful if major migrations occur. Cities being studied in include Duluth, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Toledo and Buffalo. After reading the report I was left to wonder whether the projects included would continue to receive sufficient financial report to have an impact on society. Environmental reforms relying on research results to power them. The revoking of scientific research grants and the restructuring of scientific advisory panels raises concerns over the potential loss of our scientific understandings essential to guiding our modern society toward a more sustainable future. Decades ago under Stalin’s leadership Russia abandoned the science of genetics and evolution in support of a political agenda being advanced by the regime. Abandoning the search for truth held back scientific progress in genetic understandings for generations in Russia.
