They won't release that information because it LOOKS BAD. Texas' maternal mortality rate AND infant mortality rates have increased since the Dobbs decision.
Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.
