Why Isn't It Time to Change the World?

Two republican representatives proposed a law that would have required infants below the age of two be strapped into a child's safety seat, sort of the airplane equivalent of a car seat. When i ask my very gifted freshmen at grove city, how might this law result in more infant fatalities, as opposed to fewer, they're oftentimes at a loss about how to reason about this. It's clearly not a lack of political will. It's simply bumping up against the hard constraint posed by economic reality.
