Infant mortality rates rise in Texas after abortion ban

In a completely predictable development, the infant mortality rate in 2022 rose to 8%, compared to a 2% increase in the rest of the U.S. Death from birth defects rose 23%, compared to a decrease of 3% in the rest of the U.S. This followed the abortion restrictions imposed in Texas in 2021.

Well done, "pro-lifers." You haven't saved any fetuses (the overall abortion rate in the U.S. rose after the Dobbs decision), but you did manage to kill more infants.
