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.

Also that abortion training is becoming difficult to obtain for young doctors even in states where it is legal. Also, that maternal deaths increased 25% in the year after Dobbs was ruled. This is not about abortion. It is about women's and baby's health. But this population is too stupid to understand it. Too stupid or cruel or revengeful.

People understand, and they're angry about it.
