Conservatives slammed a CNN.com article Thursday reporting on how a "strict abortion law" in Texas has led to "10,000 more births than expected." Critics accused the news outlet of being "disappointed" that thousands more children were born thanks to the pro-life law that was passed in the state in 2021. The article detailed research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimating that the Texas "heartbeat bill" has resulted in the births of nearly 10,000 more babies than would otherwise have been expected. Students for Life of America tweeted, "10,000 babies born, zero women died, but pro-abortion CNN is disappointed. He wrote, "Alternate headline: ‘New Texas law saves nearly 10,000 lives in the last 9 months of 2022.’"Conservative author Carmine Sabia gave his impression of CNN’s headline, stating, "CNN is disappointed that 10,000 babies lived."
