They compared that data against high-resolution maps of major floods over that time span and found a stark difference in mortality risk: There were 5.3 more infant deaths per 1,000 births in flood-prone areas than in non-flood-prone areas.

But Georgia had 116 more infant deaths than the year before, and Texas had 251 more.

More infant births would mean more infant deaths.

In 2015 alone, the study claimed, Tennessee's law led to 20 more fetal deaths and 60 more infant deaths.
