Texas Abortion Ban Linked to Marked Increase in Infant Deaths, Study Finds
An almost complete abortion ban in the US state of Texas has been linked to a rise in infant deaths and in the number of babies born with congenital anomalies.
A study of the birth records across the nation between 2018 and 2022 revealed that infant mortality in Texas rose by 12.7 percent following the implementation of the ban on 1 September 2021.
In addition, deaths attributed to congenital anomalies rose by 22.9 percent. Both of these increases were only found in Texas. For the rest of the US, infant mortality only rose by 1.8 percent for the same time period, and congenital anomaly deaths decreased by 3.1 percent.

Good discussion,in article, but I'd suggest other slave states will soon catch up to these awful statistics. Texas was the first state with a vicious antiabortion law, its "snitch and sue" law that allowed any idiot with absolutely no standing to sue doctors who provided health care that included abortion for whatever reason, even to save her life.
