A groundbreaking study reveals a troubling spike in U.S. infant mortality rates following the overturning of federal abortion rights in 2022. The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision has led over 20 states to enforce abortion bans or restrictions—and now, researchers warn of a growing crisis with hundreds more babies dying annually.

💡 While debates over reproductive rights rage on, the study highlights a stark correlation between abortion bans and infant health outcomes. For young professionals, students, and anyone tracking global health trends, this is a wake-up call to watch how legislation impacts public welfare. Could this reshape conversations about healthcare access in 2024? Stay tuned.
