RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT 10 July 2024 Increased infant mortality has been found to be associated with the passage of an abortion law in Texas. Gemmill et al. examined the impact of Texas Senate Bill 8 (SB8), believed to represent the most restrictive US abortion law, on infant mortality in Texas. Using a population-based cohort study and comparative interrupted time series analysis, they analyzed national birth and infant death data from 2018 to 2022.
