Video: Widower speaks out amid civil rights investigation into treatment of Black women during childbirth | CNN

The Department of Health and Human Services has launched an civil rights investigation into how Black women are treated while giving birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The investigation follows a 2022 civil rights lawsuit filed by a man whose wife had gone to the hospital to give birth to their second son. An autopsy showed she died from massive internal bleeding following a planned cesarean section, CNN previously reported.
