Infant mortality increases over 12% in Texas after near total abortion ban enacted in 2021: Study

Infant mortality increased by 12.9% from 2021 to 2022 in Texas after Texas' near-total ban on abortion was enacted, according to a new study.

Infant mortality increased by 12.9% from 2021 to 2022 in Texas after Texas' near-total ban on abortion was enacted, according to a new study published today in JAMA Pediatrics. A total of 2243 Texas infants, or children under 1 year, died in 2022 compared to 1985 Texas infant deaths in 2021.

This study, "basically confirms what we've suspected for a long time," said Dr. Richard Ivey, a practicing OB/GYN in Houston. "We knew that infant mortality would go up, particularly with congenital anomalies," after the passage of the ban, he said.

The Texas Heartbeat Act, Texas' near-total abortion ban, was implemented in September 2021. The infant mortality rate, or deaths per 1000 live births, increased by 8.3% from 2021 to 2022. The increase in death rates of infants in 2022 erase gains made in Texas since 2017. This data is from before Roe vs. Wade was overturned two years ago.

Sad, but that's what happens when anti-science theocratic nutjobs run the government.

Proof MAGAts are barely literate.

Let me help you, Pmp; "congenital anomalies" are birth defects. Fatal congenital anomalies are found during pre-natal care and, if severe enough, used to be terminated through abortion. Since the mothers are now forced to birth infants with congenital anomalies, the infant mortality rate will go up since the babies dies of their defects.

Not all birth defects are fatal, but obviously some are and the mothers now forced to birth such babies then watch them die in the hospitals.

Birth defects: Types, causes, and prevention

Birth defects, now known as congenital anomalies, are conditions that a person has from birth. Examples include cleft lip, Down syndrome, and spina bifida.

www.medicalnewstoday.com

These medical conditions range from mild to more severe. Some affect the organs or a single body part, while others can affect development, how the body works, or the senses....

...Congenital anomalies affect around 3%Trusted Source of pregnancies. It is possible to reduce the chance of some of these irregularities, but not all of them.

The birth rate increased because of more Hispanic women having kids but fewer white women having babies.. Hispanic typically don't seek prenatal care as frequently as white women. More kids being born without prenatal care means more infant deaths. I have delivered the baby of a 16 year old Hispanic girl that had ZERO prenatal care. It was scary. She showed up crowning and the OB doctor didn't make it to the hospital in time. I HATED delivering kids.

How do you figure that?

Once an addict, always an addict.

MAGAts don't care about the pain they cause. They don't care about kids after they were born, unless it's to indoctrinate them into the Evangelical version of Christianity.

But you want all the baby killing for yourself.

Exactly right. Just like you'll always be a retard.

MAGAt rule #6 Assert your dominance by insulting anyone who disagrees with you as often as possible

You're a loser, Yak. You'll always be a loser as long as you continue to hold hate in your heart.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

But you want all the baby killing for yourself.

QED.

You need to get right with Jesus, Yak, or you'll end up burning with Satan.

Did you sell your soul to Satan for drugs, Yak? All you have to do to get it back is to let go of your hate and ask God for forgiveness. Forgiveness requires sincere repentance. Hate is not repentance.

If there had never been Roe V Wade there would be TWICE as many Black people living in the United States but somehow Republicans are the bad guys. Let that sink in.

Another reason why I doubt you were ever a medically-licensed doctor in the US.

so are you saying abortion supporters are finding new ways to kill their children?......

Yet you support abortion as long as the fetuses belong to (D) voting women.

I have to admit, the world could be better......for example, Biden voters could have been aborted instead of the kids who were........

No we don't want you to murder your children. That makes us bad people I guess.

Yes, most rational people consider those who want to force their "morality" on others and remove freedoms to enforce it to be bad people.

When I was teaching we had a mobile prenatal care unit (also provided bc and general care) that came to the HS parking lot to provide much Needed prenatal care. Infant mortality dropped significantly ..It's
shocking how many do not seek prenatal care at all... And even if they are advised don't follow through... Of course, because the program was so successful Government funding disappeared After a number of years..
