The study referenced from JAMA makes it clear: abortion bans correlate with a measurable rise in infant mortality rates. A 5.6% increase is not a rounding error; it’s a policy-driven consequence. States implementing these bans are essentially gambling with lives, disproportionately affecting Black infants and those in already vulnerable regions.

This isn’t about “protecting life”; it’s about controlling it. The bans exacerbate systemic inequalities, targeting populations that have historically been neglected by healthcare systems. The data exposes the hypocrisy of “pro-life” rhetoric when the outcomes are dead infants and increased suffering.

If policies can’t protect the living, they’re failures. This is a stark reminder that ideology-driven legislation often ignores real-world consequences, leaving the most vulnerable to pay the price.
