Infant deaths surged 12.9% in Texas compared with 1.8% for the rest of the country after the state in 2021 enacted a strict abortion ban with no exceptions for birth defects, according to a new study in JAMA Pediatrics.
Infant deaths attributed to congenital anomalies, or birth defects, rose 22.9% in Texas compared with a decrease of 3.1% for the rest of the country.
Preliminary infant mortality data obtained by CNN last year suggested the restrictions were fueling a spike in deaths as more women were forced to carry nonviable pregnancies to term.
