Study links spike in infant deaths to Texas abortion ban
Briefly

Infant deaths in Texas increased, with higher rates of birth defects-related mortalities, unintentional injuries, and necrotizing enterocolitis, indicating potential impacts from Senate Bill 8.
Texas' strict abortion law may have led to a spike in infant deaths as more nonviable pregnancies were carried to term, with confusion around exemptions exacerbating healthcare challenges.
Research suggests restrictive abortion policies might unintentionally influence infant health, increase trauma for families, and escalate medical costs, raising concerns about broader societal implications.
