Has Abortion Increased a True Infant Mortality Rate Drastically?

posted 140 days ago by bluewhiteandred 140 days ago by bluewhiteandred +22 / -0

This came up in an unrelated discussion of how technology has improved our lives, about how infant mortality rates have dropped due to technological advancements.

Yet, if I understand the math correctly... hasn't abortion drastically set this progress back?

A related topic is the MSM was arguing that states with abortion bans have higher infant mortality rates... yet, if you factor abortion in, don't states with legal abortion have much higher infant mortality rates?

According to this site, 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. in 2023: https://apnews.com/article/how-many-babies-are-born-us-25d99f438645908e5ed6ae29d3914b89

According to this site, "researchers estimate there were 1,026,700 abortions in 2023": https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/03/19/1238293143/abortion-data-how-many-us-2023

So if the total babies that would have been born was 4.6 million, and a million did not survive 1 year of age (definition of infant mortality rate), that's gonna be between 20% and 25% infant mortality rate. History has a 50% mortality rate so that is a gain... the mainstream mortality rate number today seems to be a few percents (not adding in abortion numbers).

Has anyone made this point before and is this math correct?

How could reducing abortion rates possibly increase infant mortality? That makes no sense. Every single abortion results in a dead baby.

Even if some of the babies that would have been aborted end up dying after birth, at least they were given a chance at life. How is it any better to kill the child in the womb than to let it be be born and give it a chance?

I am saying the opposite, abortion raises infant mortality rate but they don't define it that way

By what possible rational definition could anyone say abortion raises infant mortality?

my understanding is mortality is a measure of deaths, so abortion increases deaths and therefore mortality rate.please correct this if it is wrong

Oh yes, exactly correct. I completely misspoke in my last comment. I meant to say how could less abortion increase infant mortality.
