What the Senate can give for Mother's Day [CNN.com]

I believe I can speak for millions of mothers in America, Republican and Democrat alike, when I say that the 13 men in the Senate drafting its version of the contentious health care bill to repeal and replace Obamacare can skip the whole breakfast in bed thing for Mother's Day.

That's not what we need from them. What current and future American mothers need right now is much more attention to their health -- especially an increase in our survival rates in childbirth. Mother's Day is an excellent time for the drafting committee shaping the Senate's version of the healthcare bill to take a moment to focus on the rising numbers of US women dying while giving birth or from complications of pregnancy.
