According to a study in October 2024, since the DOBBS sued the Jackson Supreme Court of the United States in 2022, it has increased by 7 % since overthrowing the constitutional abortion rights.

These discoveries followed another study. The study reported that after the implementation of the No. 8 Act, the mortality rate of baby in the Texas states increased by 12.7 %. The bill was prohibited from abortion after detecting the fetal heartbeat. Except for medical emergency, the law effectively enables the state abortion after five to six weeks of pregnancy.

Both studies point out that the number of infants with congenital defects increases. This shows that women are providing more baby with serious congenital malformations, and these babies have no hope of hopes for survival for more than a few hours, a few days or a few weeks.

However, even before this new study confirmed this kind of connection, clinicians who specialized high -risk pregnancy warned the potential consequences of the new abortion method.

We are researchers focusing on the health of maternal and children, and they evaluate the safety of drugs during pregnancy. We determine drugs that may increase the risk of birth defects or pregnancy losses.

We also evaluate the effectiveness of policies and initiatives to improve the ending of pregnancy, including whether strict abortion laws will lead to more infant death.

Defective birth: the main cause of baby mortality

Birth defects will affect the 3 % pregnancy in the United States

They may be caused by the exposure of certain drugs, infections, maternal diseases or genetics. For many people, the reason is unknown.

Although birth defects can occur at any time during pregnancy, most of them occur in the first three months of pregnancy, which is a critical time for organ development. More than 5 % of pregnancy is exposed to about 200 drugs that cause congenital defects.

Many congenital defects can be treated; for example, you can correct oral cracks and some heart defects through surgery. Some can lead to lifelong disability, and some are fatal, causing the baby to die shortly after death. The birth defect is the main cause of infant mortality, accounting for about 20 % of the first year of life.

Among the abnormal abnormalities considered, not all caused death or death immediately during pregnancy. For example, more than half of trimer babies are chromosomal abnormalities, which will cause severe heart defects or breathing problems, and die in the first week of life. Until the first birthday, only 13 % survived.

It affects a congenital defect that affects the development of the skull and brain, causing death or death in the first few weeks of life. But there is a case report that there is a baby's birthday on the next day.

According to Dobbs's previous data, more than 80 % of women will choose to detect Ancephaly's pregnancy before 24 weeks of pregnancy. In view of a profound impact on parents' lives, this choice is very personal. But in many states, these women may no longer have options. Due to the limited or exception of abortion laws, women carrying fatal status have no other choices except bringing pregnancy to their term.

The legal landscape of abortion law

As of January 2025, the abortion ban in 16 states was valid or restricted that abortion was not allowed after six weeks. In nine states in these states, fatal congenital defects are not considered an exception.

However, even in addition to these exceptions, legal wording used to formulate legislation usually confuses medical providers. Legal languages ​​do not always use medical terms, and can determine the result of not existing pregnancy. For example, even in this domain, it does not meet the common legal definition of "no survivability outside the uterus".

This uncertainty increases the hesitation and fear of doctors and nurses. These doctors and nurses may face punishment, including criminal charges and prison time. If they provide abortion, they are later regarded as illegal in the court.

Preparatory care is too late

In 2023, in the middle of pregnancy, about 24 % of pregnancy in the United States started prenatal care

In the national sample research in February 2024, there were nearly 640,000 private insurance pregnant women with a median time for prenatal care for eight weeks. In other words, for women living in a six -week abortion state, more than half of women who live in more than half of the women who live, if they find birth defects, the obstetric evaluation may be too late to consider abortion.

Our research has more than 6,000 women exposed to drugs that may cause congenital defects within the first six weeks of pregnancy. These include drugs used to treat ordinary yeast or urinary tract infection, for migraine or weight loss drugs and blood pressure drugs. Almost all these women (96 %) did not care before giving birth before taking drugs, and many women may not realize that they are pregnant. For more than 80 % of these pregnancy, prenatal care started after six weeks. It was too late to prevent it from exposed to unsafe drugs or to screen potential congenital defects, and considers considering the stricter abortion ban. Top pregnancy.

The important thing is that the scope of prenatal appraisal method of birth defects from screening from screening chromosomal abnormalities. This is the ultrasound period from the 10 weeks of pregnancy to the ultrasound of the second pregnancy to find the fetal structure defect, and then to the breast sample or amniiecensesSesSeiss, etc. Process for genetic conditions. These are done after six weeks of pregnancy.

Even if the screening may still belong to the critical value of abortion, there is a great possibility that the possibility of detecting adverse results in the uterus is very different.

For example, propyrine is a drug that treats epilepsy, migraine and some mental health disorders. About 1 % to 2 % of women taking propyrine are pregnant every year. Pleyate can cause congenital defects that can be detected in the uterus, such as oral cracks or spinal bales. But this also increases the risk of autism and adverse cognitive defects, which may be diagnosed several years after childbirth.

At present, there is no legal solution that may occur to adverse results but cannot be confirmed before delivery. Therefore, it is expected that the more stringent abortion law will not only increase the inevitable baby's death, but also increase the birth of severe disabled babies.
