* Texas has seen a dramatic rise in infant mortality and abandoned newborns found in dumpsters and ditches since the state banned abortion. * Republicans have cut funding for prenatal care and family planning services, and undocumented women are avoiding medical care due to fear of deportation. * The state's safe haven law, which allows women to relinquish babies to authorities without questions, is underfunded and barely advertised. * Republicans have allocated $165 million to crisis pregnancy centers, which aim to keep women pregnant until it's too late for an abortion, rather than investing in safe haven laws. * The author argues that Republicans prioritize punishing women for perceived sexual transgression over saving lives and providing support to pregnant women in crisis. * The article suggests that Republicans are willing to accept the deaths of newborns as a consequence of their abortion ban, rather than taking steps to prevent infant abandonment. * #AbortionBan * #TexasAbortionBan * #InfantMortality * #NewbornAbandonment * #ProLife * #AntiChoice * #ReproductiveRights * #WomensHealth * #FamilyPlanning * #SafeHavenLaws * #CrisisPregnancyCenters * #RepublicanPolitics * #AntiAbortionActivism https://www.salon.com/2025/01/02/newborns-are-being-left-in-dumpsters-in-texas-but-dont-seem-to-care/
