Increase in Infant & Newborn Deaths in Texas

A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics highlights a concerning rise in infant and newborn deaths in Texas following the enactment of Senate Bill 8 (SB8) in September 2021, which banned abortions as early as five weeks into pregnancy. The research reveals that infant mortality in Texas increased by nearly 13% the year after the law was passed, contrasting with a 2% rise nationwide. Particularly alarming is the 23% increase in babies born with congenital anomalies in Texas, against a 3% decrease across other states, underscoring the potential link between the restrictive abortion law and adverse infant outcomes. This stark data points to the profound impact of SB8 on infants and families, especially those facing severe congenital conditions deemed "incompatible with life," leading to heartbreaking scenarios for expecting parents.
