In the year and a half following the Supreme Court Dobbs decision that revoked the federal right to an abortion, hundreds more infants died than expected in the United States, new research shows. The vast majority of those infants had congenital anomalies, or birth defects.

Earlier research – spurred by a CNN investigative report - found that infant mortality spiked in Texas after a 6-week abortion ban took effect in 2021, and experts say the new data suggests that the impacts of the bans and restrictions enacted by some states post-Dobbs have been large enough to affect broader trends.

“This is evidence of a national ripple effect, regardless of state-level status,” said Dr. Parvati Singh, an assistant professor of epidemiology with The Ohio State University College of Public Health and lead author of the new study.

It was never about "saving babies".

No no, it is. They want more and more and more population born to situations where they are financially crippled, and thus easily exploitable.

Thats why they even want rape babies to be born. They don't give a shit HOW they're born, just that they provide a large source of cheap labor and economic growth in 18 years.

Makes sense, non-viable "babies" are being delivered instead of aborted, infant mortality goes up.

God's will that they're born to suffer. (edit /s to be sure, I realised it would show up out of context in my profile lol.)

Wow, who could've possibly predicted that happening!

Way to go Republicans! You're now the official party of "post-birth abortions."
