A study in JAMA Pediatrics suggests a possible connection between increased infant mortality in Texas and the abortion restrictions implemented in 2021.

Early fertility data from Texas also showed a notable rise in births among Hispanic women since the new abortion laws took effect. The Texas law bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
