Infant deaths increased after Texas banned abortion in early pregnancy

Among the causes of infant deaths, one increased the most: congenital abnormalities, which increased 22.9% in Texas in children between 2021 and 2022, while they decreased 2.9% in the rest of the country. That trend suggests that at least in some cases, parents were forced to carry a pregnancy to term while knowing their children had little to no chance of survival, said Gemmill.

No, that’s to logical. They’ll spin the numbers to mean something positive for the party.

They'll just include them in the # of births category without pointing to survivability.

This is exactly it.

They’ll just spin it and it won’t matter because their voter base literally doesn’t care. They are incapable of critical thought, foresight, empathy, accountability, or generally any other positive human trait.
