A recent study has revealed that the infant mortality rate in Texas experienced an 8% increase following the implementation of the state's abortion ban. The findings suggest a concerning trend in the aftermath of the restrictive abortion legislation.
It has been two years since the landmark Supreme Court decision of Roe v Wade was overturned. Since then, abortion has been banned with limited exceptions in 14 states, all of which are under Republican control. This regression in women's reproductive rights marks a significant step backwards in the fight for gender equality and bodily autonomy.
