“We all knew the infant mortality rate would go up, because many of these terminations were for pregnancies that don’t turn into healthy normal kids,” said Dr. Erika Werner, the chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Tufts Medical Center. “It’s exactly what we all were concerned about

False. Far more are living. 100% of aborted babies die.
According to the story, for ALL of 2022, an extra 227 babies died. And for just the last 9 months, an extra 10,000 were born. We'll round down and say 12,727 for the full year.
That's an extra 12,500 living babies. Media can spin it however they want. That's an extra 12,500 babies who were allowed to live and were not murdered in their mother's womb.
That's a win. Period.

When does a fetus become a baby?
Same old argument.
BTW, I do not support abortions. I support an individual woman's right to choose.

MSG Stan Hutchison A fetus is a living creature of the human species at conception, according to science.
Science states that when a sperm fertilizes an egg - and this isn't just for humans - a new living thing is created. That thing is the same "thing" as the things from whence came the sperm and egg. So when a frog sperm fertilizes a frog egg, a new frog life is created. It may need to mature through infancy and adolescence to become a fully formed "frog," but it at all times has the same scientific nomenclature. An h. sapiens egg which has been fertilized by an h. sapiens sperm is a new h. sapiens life. It still has to develop inside the womb. And it still has to develop OUTSIDE the womb, too, before it can become a mature adult human. But a developing human life it is, nonetheless.
I support a woman's right to choose her clothes, her intimate partners, her perfume, her career, her hobbies, her friends; almost anything in the world.
I do not support her ability (not a right) to choose to end human life unless in defense of her own life, in times of war (and in accordance with ROE and LOAC), or in defense of the life of another - in which cases it DOES become a right. Whether the human life is in the womb or out of it is a distinction without difference, IMNSHO.
In terms of abortion, I do support abortion in instances where the mother's life is in danger - or will guaranteedly *be* in danger if abortion does not occur (like the much publicized Texas case where they waited for sepsis - that was ridiculous, in my personal opinion). In these cases the woman is choosing to end that human life to save her own. I may disagree with the choice to do so, some of the time (depending on the circumstances), but I fully support her right to choose her own life over that of another.
