The resolution recognizes doulas as essential members of the childbirth team, highlighting their role in providing physical, emotional, and educational support to mothers before, during, and after childbirth. It emphasizes the alarming statistics regarding maternal mortality in Alabama, particularly among Black women, and notes that many pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. Doulas serve as advocates for women's needs, helping to connect them with appropriate care providers and ensuring consistent support throughout the childbirth process.

Furthermore, the resolution points out that increased access to doula care, especially in under-resourced communities, can lead to improved health outcomes for both mothers and infants. It suggests that doulas can help reduce healthcare costs, lower rates of cesarean sections, and alleviate maternal anxiety and depression. By acknowledging the significant contributions of doulas, the resolution aims to promote better communication between pregnant women and healthcare providers, ultimately benefiting families and the state by reducing costs associated with pregnancy-related complications.
