“Already, the United States claims the highest rate of maternal and infant mortality among wealthy nations. Should the court overturn Roe v. Wade, these grim statistics will only get worse,” argued a Nature editorial last month

Maternal health is also expected to decline overall. One straightforward reason is that the risks of dying from pregnancy-related causes are much greater than the risks of dying because of a legal abortion. A predicted rise in maternal mortality among Black women in the United States is particularly distressing, because the rate is already unacceptably high.

Abortion bans will extract an unequal toll on society. Some 75% of women who choose to have abortions are in a low income bracket and nearly 60% already have children,submitted ahead of the December hearing and signed by more than 150 economists. Travelling across state lines to receive care will be particularly difficult for people who do not have the funds for flights or the ability to take time off work, or who struggle to find childcare.

Such an attitude suggests that the justices see research as secondary to the question of whether the US Constitution should protect abortion. But the outcome of this ruling isn’t an academic puzzle. The Supreme Court needs to accept that the consensus of research, knowledge and scholarship — the evidence on which societies must base their laws — shows how real lives hang in the balance.

How could that even be possible? There were over 62,000,000 Americans slaughtered in the womb since 1973, primarily fueled by Roe vs. Wade. If 10% of future killings can be prevented, it is a huge victory for life.

Unless you include the death by abortion..

I’ m certain they will find a way. There are busses. Still overturning RvW isn’t the problem. It’s the fact that we needed RvW in the first place. States have no right to enforce laws that abuse anyone and wether or not to carry through a pregnancy should be a personal choice.

That means for a start 100,000 children will see the light of day instead of 100,000 women murdering their Innocent that sounds like a fair exchange to me what about you seriously ?

Citation needed. And wouldn’t abortion bans in some states mean a higher birth rate?

Be a mother elsewhere?

Some infants might die, therefore we should be able to indiscriminately kill them beforehand. What a weird argument.

Why is this shit on my timelin? I don't give a fuck about this at all. Stop getting these hoes pregnant

it wont be overturned thankfully

Sentiment is excellent, but Michigan should not be included if the intent is to inform rather than inflame.

It’s so easy - USE CONTRACEPTION!!!!

Right, if you kill more children the stats will be better.

Never thought America can be so bad !

Tbh:ProLife by oath.JoeBiden UnitedStates anything but prolife which includes wellbeing of mothers & fathers;instead it's a reckless abortion factory on anyway high maternal & infant mortality getting worse after RoeVsWade; SCOTUS Miranda path to US authoritarianism

If your numbers are correct, that is about 100,000 Americans per year that escape slaughter. I call that a win, though it is still preventing less than 10% of of the killings.

de_varse Lib logic: not killing a million babies a year will make infant mortality worse. 🤣🤣🤣

Shut up, demons.

What's this got to do with nature?

I'm sure they'll be a big pharma abortion product along soon

Because there are a bunch of women that can't use protection or keep their legs shut... Sounds like we need some responsable woman in the world. Unless there is some new pregnancy via the air you breathe.

And now they will. But the GOP does not care if *women* die...or for that matter infants and children. All they really care about is controlling women, limiting their power.

It’s worth noting that the Gulf Coat info is wrong now. The Pensacola clinic is gone. So, Mobile and Tallahassee. Mobile will have to shut down probably. So New Orleans and Tallahassee. But those also are probably closing.

woman deserve the best care for them selves and there offspring. If medicine wasn't ruled by greed. We would all get better treatment. Like all circles of life in all species, some die sometimes recycled by the universe to come again. Not our choice. Creators

Doesn't America use a much more broad definition for infant mortality than the rest of the world? Like, nothing comparable at all?

I’m wondering if the reported numbers are true, what is the correlation with the amount of undocumented aliens from third world countries?

paleotaissa 🤦‍♂️

Just wait until these unworthy moron parents FORCE this highly inconclusive mRNA vaccine 💉 from pfizer & moderna_tx into their kids —those parents are going to regret not standing up for a vaccine that’s PROVEN effective & unlimited transparency in Covaxin4Kids Ocugen

Do they count abortions as infant mortality?

Which state has a drink as first letter and something terrible that can can make a simple sentence? Texas is toxic.

America slowly returning to the stone age.
