A Baby Boomā€¦ and New Statistics Roll Out

32,000 Unexpected births have arrived since the overide of Roe v. Wade

New literature has reported that about 25% of U.S. abortion seekers were hindered by post-Dobbs decision bans. In the first half of 2023, states with abortion restrictions saw a 2.3% higher fertility rate, leading to around 32,000 more births than expected.

US infant mortality rate is up 3%

A physician on LinkedIn suggested itā€™s due to increasing use of APPs (PAs/NPs) in medicineā€¦given the emergence of literature published this week, we believe our readers can conclude there is not one cause. Perhaps there is a common linkā€¦šŸ¤”

Maternal mortality rate is also on the rise

The United States has a higher rate of pregnancy-related deaths compared to other high-income countries. The CDC reported 1,205 deaths in 2021 alone (a 40% increase from the prior year). Severe maternal morbidity, which refers to life-threatening pregnancy complications, disproportionately affects Black individuals. Non-Hispanic Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White people, regardless of income or education level.The eclampsia related death of Olympic champion, Tori Bowie on June 13, is a gut-wrenching reminder that awareness should be a year-round effort.
