Oh Baby! 32,000 Babies Born Thanks to Roe v. Wade Being Overturned

When it comes to good news, it doesn’t get much better than babies being born. And thanks to Roe v. Wade being overturned in June of 2022, the United States just got a whole heck of a lot more.

New York Post reports:

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, at least 30,000 babies have been born that would have otherwise been aborted, according to a new study published this month.

The 32,000 babies were born in states that enacted some form of abortion restriction, according to the study conducted by the Institute of Labor Economics that looked at the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which returned the issue of abortion to the states.

“Our primary analysis indicates that in the first six months of 2023, births rose by an average of 2.3 percent in states enforcing total abortion bans compared to a control group of states where abortion rights remained protected, amounting to approximately 32,000 additional annual births resulting from abortion bans,” according to the study.

Now that’s a success.

However, there are of course idiots who think the news of 32,000 innocent people being born is “bad.”

Example:

Alison Gemmill, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in contrast, told CNN that the new numbers indicated “an assault on reproductive autonomy.”

Alison Gemmill sure sounds like a real peach. And when I say “peach,” I mean evil dirtbag who hates babies.

We’ve still got a long road ahead when it comes to the fight for life. There are a lot of minds that need to be changed, and horrible laws to challenge (looking at you, Ohio). But we also have to celebrate the wins as they come—and in this case, we have 32,000 little wins to smile about.
