Summary
Texas has seen a spike in abandoned newborns since its abortion ban, with some infants found dead in dumpsters or ditches.
Critics link the rise to reduced access to abortion, cuts to prenatal care, underfunded safe haven programs, and fear of deportation among undocumented women.
Texas Republicans have resisted funding awareness campaigns for safe haven laws, instead allocating $165 million to crisis pregnancy centers that prioritize deterring abortion over aiding women.
The lack of support has drawn condemnation, highlighting the broader consequences of restrictive reproductive policies.
Well duh, they’re not pro life, they’re pro birth. Once that umbilical cord is cut, you’re dead to them, and we’ve known this for years.
Pro birth is not how you spell control over 50% of the population.
Forced birth is more accurate.
It is when you make safe birth extremely expensive to access without good healthcare.
