Infant mortality rises in states with abortion bans, study finds
Increases in infant mortality have been found in U.S. states that enacted abortion bans or severe restrictions after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark ruling that guaranteed a right to the procedure, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.

The SCOTUS immunity ruling protects presidents from ever being prosecuted criminally for certain kinds of official acts, but it doesn’t transmute any category of unconstitutional executive orders into constitutional ones. So the birthright citizenship EO isn’t shielded from judicial invalidation.
For constitutional experts like @tribelaw.bsky.social @weissmann11.bsky.social and @nealkatyal.bsky.social :
Are Executive Orders, especially canceling birthright citizenship, protected by the SCOTUS immunity ruling?

Roughly, 16,666 minor kids get married a year vs 3,681 trans kids on HRT annually in average, with that second number being even smaller now due to the number of statewide healthcare bans that have been enacted over the last 3 years
It's a huge huge HUGE difference

17 states which *weren't* part of the lawsuit operate their own state #ACA exchange (CA, CO, CT, DC, GA, ME, MD, MA, MN, NV, NJ, NM, NY, PA, RI, VT & WA). Legally they should be able to enroll #DACA folks after all.
HOWEVER, the other 15 states are hosted by HC.gov, which could be problematic.
