Query:

According to the following study,
https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(20)30372-X/fulltext
states with more restrictive reproduction policies see higher
rates of infant mortality and low-birth weight. Please base all
answers on this study.

1. Repeated studies have shown that when a state places heavy
restrictions on reproductive rights, there are negative
outcomes. Explain why a state would still choose to go this
route.

2. Please provide details on how these restrictive policies can
affect women, especially disadvantaged women (those without
health insurance) or women of color?

3. The study clearly shows that black women have higher rates of
poor pregnancy outcomes under these policies. Why do you think
that is?

4. What options should a woman pursue if she is dealing with an
unwanted pregnancy while living in one of the 10 most
restrictive states?

5. What is a possible solution to this problem?

to be apart?

when they'll be able to see each other in person again? How can
they stay in touch and feel connected?
