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 of these deaths are preventable. Doulas serve as advocates for women's needs, helping to bridge the gap between mothers and healthcare providers, which is especially crucial in under-resourced communities.

Furthermore, the resolution points out that increased access to doula care can lead to improved health outcomes for both mothers and infants, including lower healthcare costs, reduced rates of cesarean sections, and decreased maternal anxiety and depression. By acknowledging the significant benefits of doula support, the resolution aims to promote better communication between pregnant women and healthcare providers, ultimately contributing to healthier families and communities in Alabama.
