Political Posts Week 6

   For a period of time the births of premature babies had a recognizable decrease. Recently, questions have been raised regarding the premature birth rates beginning to rise again. The care it takes to keep the premature birth rate down is described as a difficult task. The states are aware that it is an important issue and are addressing the issue. To return the rate to a more controlled number, attention needs to be shifted to African American women and women of other ethnic groups, where preterm births were mostly found. This is considered a competitive issue as each state aims to keep their numbers of premature births lower than others.
