Infant mortality in the U.S. worsened after Supreme Court limited abortion access.

Infant deaths have increased in the United States since the high court's Dobbs vs. Jackson ruling, researchers say.

The findings are seen as a clear sign that the Dobbs decision has prevented some women from terminating pregnancies that otherwise would have ended in abortion.

247 additional infant deaths in the 1 years after Dobbs , which amounted to a 7% increase.

The vast majority of those deaths — 204 — were due to congenital anomalies, an increase of 10% .

The fact that infant mortality never dropped below expected levels is strong evidence that abortion ruling was the root cause of the additional deaths, Singh says.
