Everyone who remembers before birth control became widely available knew this would happen
Anyone with half a brain and an ounce of common sense would have known. Only 6 is the part that surprises me. I figured more.
Might sound dark and pessimistic, but I don't think it will be all that long now before there are "missing" babies and toddlers.
Don't want them, can't feed them, can't care for them, state won't take them, and so many more reasons. Every once in a while there are still little unwanteds from pre Roe days that turn up.
It's not only 6, just 6 that they've discovered in this particular county of the state.
In the months following the law changes, Texas infant fatalities rose 13%, fatalities of mothers during birth also saw a similarly dramatic rise.
This rise was directly attributable to the anti-choice laws passed by republicans as it is localized to their state and similar rises were not seen elsewhere in the nation during this time period except in other anti-choice jurisdictions. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/texas-sb-8-and-increases-in-infant-deaths
Republicans actively promote policies that cause death and suffering of children.
