Impact of Abortion Bans on Infant Mortality

This chapter examines the effects of recent abortion bans and the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision on infant mortality rates in the U.S. It critiques the coverage of these issues in media narratives while emphasizing the ethical complexities surrounding abortion and the terminologies used. The discussion also highlights the consequences of restricting abortion access, particularly for marginalized individuals, and raises questions about the implications of such laws on both mothers and children.
