I am your constituent and I just learned that infant mortality is on the rise, significantly, because women in states where abortions are hard to get are forced to carry fetuses to term. The baby’s born with spinal bifida, organs external to the body and other birth defects die shortly after birth.
This is just cruel and needless. I don’t care how you do it - get the Women;s Health Protection Act to a vote and stop this legalized cruelty. You keep saying how much families matter - SHOW IT.”
PS here is a link to the Journal of the American Medical Association article for you and an Axios summary.
