Quote:Just as predicted, by women who tried to warn us — isn’t that always the case? — the downfall of abortion rights across America has actually led to more dead babies than when we had a national right to reproductive healthcare.

Researchers have marked an increase in infant deaths since the Dobbs decision, which removed a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion under any circumstances and nullified the Roe v. Wade decision from nearly 50 years before.

The death rate is especially high among infants born with congenital anomalies, according to a recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics, an international peer-reviewed journal and the oldest, continuously-published pediatric journal in the U.S.

The study analyzed national CDC data from 2018 through 2023 on a monthly basis. It focused on infant mortality rates both before and after the Dobbs decision, and compared trends such as overall infant mortality and infant mortality among those born with congenital anomalies.

By banning abortion, America’s morality police have only succeeded in killing infants; but it was always a spurious claim that such bans would save them.
