Study: U.S. abortion bans led to more deaths

(CNN)– Due to new abortion bans in some U.S. states, baby deaths are up.

According to a study in the Jama Medical Journal, child deaths rose nearly 6% in states where abortion bans were implemented.

The study also shows the number of newborns who died from congenital anomalies was significantly higher in states where abortions are banned.

The researchers say this suggests more women are continuing with pregnancies despite a terminal diagnosis for the baby.
