From the link in the NBC article:

While maternal mortality spiked during the pandemic, women dying while pregnant or during childbirth rose consistently in Texas following the state’s ban on abortion, according to the Gender Equity Policy Institute.”

My bad. That seems like a really rigorous analysis. 

Just read that statement and tell me exactly what data points directly support it. The crude maternal mortality rate actually went down after the state's abortion ban. I feel like I am in bizarro world. 

Morning.

The data from 2019 and the data from 2022. 2020 and 2021 show the Covid spike.

”Among Hispanic women, the rate of women dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after increased from 14.5 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2019 to 18.9 in 2022. Rates among white women nearly doubled — from 20 per 100,000 to 39.1. And Black women, who historically have higher chances of dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after, saw their rates go from 31.6 to 43.6 per 100,000 live births.”

Explain it to me like I’m in seventh grade.

You posted a NBC "exclusive report" on a hack analysis from a special interest group and framed it as a compelling set of research results without actually critically thinking about it.
