Research Indicates Increased Maternal Mortality Linked to Abortion Restrictions

Recent research reveals that state-imposed abortion restrictions over the past two decades have led to a rise in maternal mortality rates. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the study's findings that these restrictions correlate with an increase in deaths among women during or after childbirth. The study underscores the impact of legislative measures on women's health outcomes, suggesting that tighter abortion laws may contribute to higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth. The research calls attention to the broader implications of such policies on maternal health, urging policymakers to consider the potential consequences of restrictive abortion laws.
