black women die from pregnancy-related issues nearly four times as often as white women

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

This might all support that they just have a different birth cycle, one that depends on large numbers for survival. (Quantity of births, rather than quality of births)

I thought r/K theory was sociological for different human groups?

It may very well be at least partially because Black women have smaller you know's...

Doubt it. Whichever "you know" you're talking about makes less difference than people used to think, plus being something modern medicine can compensate for, if necessary.

My sister has a radically tilted uterus, which is a very serious reproductive issue, and it didn't stop her from having four healthy children with no lasting damage to her own health.

Lack of healthcare.

The sad part is that Republicans don't care at all about babies. Not a scoatch. They only care about the fetus. After that, they not only lose interest, their odious policies seem designed to make children's lives as difficult as possible.

The REALLY sad part is that Democrats think "caring about" something translates into "let the government handle it so I don't have to be bothered'.

Yeap...after they are born as well

• African Americans have 2.2 times the infant mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites.
  
• African American infants are 3.2 times as likely to die from complications related to low birthweight as compared to non-Hispanic white infants.
  
• African Americans had over twice the sudden infant death syndrome mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites, in 2014.
  
• In 2014, African American mothers were 2.2 times more likely than non-Hispanic white mothers to receive late or no prenatal care

Keep in mind that Black women have higher fertility, and twinning rates, that Black babies are born earlier too, and then Black babies walk earlier too.

We would probably understand a lot more about the physiological differences between races and ethnicities which lead to health problems if it wasn't verboten to even mention the possibility that there ARE physiological differences between races and ethnicities.
