Infants died at higher rates following abortion bans in some U.S. states, according to a new study.

The Supreme Court Dobbs decision about 1 year and a half ago eliminated the federal right to an abortion, allowing each state to handle the issue.

The new study was authored by Dr. Parvati Singh, an assistant professor of epidemiology with The Ohio State University College of Public Health and Dr. Maria Gallo, a professor of epidemiology and associate dean of research with the Ohio State University College of Public Health.

They compared infant mortality rates for the time period since the Supreme Court decision to historical data and found that hundreds more infants have died than anticipated.

“This is evidence of a national ripple effect, regardless of state-level status,” said Singh, according to CNN.
