Texas law bans abortion after embryonic cardiac activity in six weeks of pregnancy.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University crunched data on infant deaths in Texas and other states.
They found that as women whose access to abortion was drastically curtailed by SB8 began to give birth in 2022 , those infants were dying at much higher rates.
Many newborns quickly died.
A 13 percent increase in infant deaths in Texas after the Heartbeat Act went into effect.
Deaths due to congenital anomalies rose by 23 percent in Texas , while in the rest of the US , there was a decline.
Before SB8 parents got a diagnosis of a serious fetal abnormality had the option to terminate, but after the law took effect, abortion was completely off the table.
Anti-abortion leaders have taken up the same message that abortion supporters are just “fear-mongering” The study shows a rise in infant mortality is not what I’d call fearmongering.” From the maternal health standpoint, pregnancy can be very dangerous for women.
In a lot of ways, the mother is an afterthought too often, it's all about the baby.
