Strict abortion laws since fall of Roe have led to increased infant deaths -- not fewer

Abortion isn’t a decision that pregnant people and families make with malice toward a pregnancy, as is too often portrayed by pro-life proponents. It can also be used to spare the mother and family from stillbirths or situations that would result in the baby’s death just a few hours after birth.

It’s a heart-rending, emotionally wrenching situation that these conservative states have condemned mothers to, by enforcing these abortion bans. More often than not, pregnant people seeking an abortion are not the stereotyped boogeyman of a “baby killer.” They are simply seeking medical care.

Yet these laws, set up to catch those rare cases, instead catch women and pregnant people who need care that falls under the medical definition of abortion — and thereby doom their unborn to a short, painful life.
