Study finds increase in infant mortality in US states with abortion bans and restrictions
- Increases in infant mortality have been observed in U.S. States where abortion bans were enacted, with an estimated 478 additional deaths since the bans began.
- The infant mortality rate rose from an expected 5.93 to 6.26 per 1,000 live births in these states, which represents a relative increase of 5.60%.
- Disadvantaged populations, particularly Black infants, experienced the highest increases in mortality, reaching 11.81 deaths per 1,000 live births post-ban.
- The findings suggest that restrictive abortion policies disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, exacerbating existing health disparities in maternal and child health.
