CIA World Factbook

"Western World" is a term referring to different nations depending on the context, there is no agreed upon definition about what all these nations have in common."
I agree

"Developed Country"
"A developed country is a country that has a high level of development according to some criteria. Which criteria, and which countries are classified as being developed, is a contentious issue."
I also agree

National Vital Statistics Reports Deaths Final Data for 2008
Adopting a pregnancy status question consistent with the standard death certificate increases the identification of maternal deaths (82,83). Maternal mortality rates are consistently greater for those states with the additional information from the separate question than for the states without it. In addition, maternal mortality rates tend to be greater after adopting the standard question than before. Research (83-85) done on this issue indicates that this increase represents an improvement in identifying maternal deaths. For example, a study in Maryland that used multiple data sources as the standard showed an improvement (from 62 percent to 98 percent) in identifying maternal deaths after adoption of a pregnancy checkbox item consistent with the 2003 standard certificate (85).

In 1915, the maternal mortality rate was 607.9 deaths per 100,000 live births for the birth registration area. In 2003, the maternal mortality rate was 12.1 deaths per 100,000 live births in the United States

Live Birth's/100,000 x MMR = Deaths

1915 2,965,000 live births / 100,000 = 29.65 x 607.9 MMR = 18,024 deaths
1925 647.1
1935 582.1
1945 207.2
1955 47.0
1965 31.6
1975 12.8
1985 7.8
1995 7.1 = 276 deaths
1996 7.6
1997 3,882,000, 8.4/100,000 = 326 maternal deaths
1998 7.1
1999 9.9
2000 9.8
2001 9.9
2002 8.9
2003 4,089,950, 12.1/100,000 = 495 maternal deaths
2004 13.1
2005 15.1
2006 13.3
2007 12.7 (CDC)
2008 24 (CIA) Also note that the CIA data and other source data will vary, I've noticed the CIA data is often higher.
