I've seen it reported recently that both infant and maternal mortality has gone up in states that have outlawed abortion. Even if the doctor forecasts that the pregnancy will be a risk to the mother or infant, they don't want to be second-guessed after the fact and prosecuted for performing the abortion.

it's not just that - but obgyns are leaving states that ban abortions. which has led to entire maternity wards being shut down.
