A rise in premature births among Latina women may be linked to Trump's election, study says
CNN, Jul 19, 2019

The United States 2016 election, when President Donald Trump was voted into office, may have been tied to a rise in premature births among Latina women across the US, according to a new study.

In the nine months beginning with November 2016, about 3.2% to 3.6% more preterm births to Latina women occurred above the levels of preterm births that would have been expected had the election not occurred, suggests the study, published in the medical journal JAMA Network Open on Friday.

Birth outcomes have long been used in medical research as indicators of acute stress among populations of women, and preterm birth in particular is linked with maternal stress, the researchers noted in their study.

"Because mothers and children are particularly vulnerable to psychosocial stress, our findings suggest that political campaigns, rhetoric and policies can contribute to increased levels of preterm birth," said Alison Gemmill, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore and first author of the study.

WOW! I had no idea Trump was that powerful!

Now I KNOW we can't let him go! We would be fools to get rid of a president that powerful!

These must be the pregnancies of the 33% of women 'raped' on the journey to the USA.

Just a way to hide the dirty laundry and call them premature births.
