Infant Deaths After Texas’ 2021 Ban on Abortion in Early Pregnancy
(Abstracted from JAMA Pediatr 2024;178(8):784–791) Since the 2022 US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization , it has been suggested that abortion restrictions could increase infant mortality. For example, an increase in infant mortality could result from more people being forced to carry a pregnancy, including those with congenital malformations, which accounts for 1 in 5 infants deaths in the United States.
