Overall infant mortality rates rose by 7% after Roe v Wade was overturned, with an additional 247 infant deaths per month accounted for in the studied period.
In particular, the study highlighted a 10% rise in mortality rates among infants with congenital anomalies, accounting for 210 additional deaths monthly.
The research connects higher infant mortality rates directly to the abortion bans, indicating that these bans remove the option to terminate pregnancies with fatal anomalies.
One author noted, 'Any infant death is tragic, but the profound sorrow of carrying a fetus incompatible with life reflects the harsh realities faced by those under abortion bans.'
