The AP keeps on reminding us they are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC.
Case in point:
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ Infant mortality rate rose 8% in wake of Texas abortion ban, study shows

Did you roll your eyes? We did.
"Study." Yeah, right ... propaganda piece by the pro-death party, more like.
From the AP:
The researchers looked at how many infants died before their first birthday after Texas adopted its abortion ban in September 2021. They compared infant deaths in Texas to those in 28 states — some also with restrictions. The researchers calculated that there were 216 more deaths in Texas than expected between March and December the next year.
In Texas, the 2022 mortality rate for infants went up 8% to 5.75 per 1,000 births, compared to a 2% increase in the rest of the U.S., according to the study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.
Among causes of deaths, birth defects showed a 23% increase, compared to a decrease of about 3% in the rest of the U.S. The Texas law blocks abortions after the detection of cardiac activity, usually five or six weeks into pregnancy, well before tests are done to detect fetal abnormalities.
The timing of the change seems interesting ... and not because of the Texas abortion ban.
The Redheaded libertarian (@TRHLofficial) ~ {Replying to @AP} Per the study you referenced, infant mortality rose 8% in the wake of pregnant mother’s being told to get the Covid vax.
Yep ... the proper correlation could very easily be the mandated shot of Covid "jungle juice." But, the libtards didn't want to consider anything other than their preconceived notion when doing this "study" because that would upset their political narrative.
Hrm.
Ben Shapiro with the takedown:
Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) ~ This is incredible statistical manipulation. They're saying that there's been an increase in the mortality rate of babies carried to term. That's true. But the mortality rate of babies who are aborted is ALL OF THEM.
Yep ... 8% of the population dead versus 100% of the population dead. But, then again, the Pro-Abortionists don't have a care in the world about throwing the baby out with the bath water, now do they?
So really, babies lives are being saved.
Just sayin'.
As for the study being unbiased:
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ Yeah, real unbiased “study” here.
Yeah, this "researcher" already knew what her "answer" would be before this "study" even began.
Devastating consequences ... right.
Open 2 Discussion (@to_discussion) ~ This article is intended to stoke fears in support of abortion, @AP. It's expected for infant mortality to increase when children with fetal anomalies are not killed in utero via elective induced abortion. Those children's deaths are recognized rather than erased & ignored.
jim scott (@realdirkg) ~ Abortions went from 4400/month to 5. Infant mortality went from 165/month to 186. That's a net gain of 4371 babies per month. Today's edition of "you don't hate the media enough."
So, in terms of absolute numbers of lives, infanticides decreased by 4,395 per month, but after-birth infant deaths increased by 21 per month. A net monthly win of 4,374. Smells like ... VICTORY.
Excuse us but we have it on good authority that math is super racist and stuff.
