Some 2,200 infants died in Texas in 2022 – an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year, according to preliminary infant mortality data from the Texas Department of State Health Services that CNN obtained through a public records request. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic and birth defects rose by 21.6%. That spike reversed a nearly decade-long decline. Between 2014 and 2021, infant deaths had fallen by nearly 15%.

    “Yes it is. Its a delibrate action with the intent to kill someone. How is it not murder?”

    By your deeply flawed definition, lethal self-defense is murder, as is combat warfare, as is unplugging a ventilator based on the persons explicit instructions.

    I wouldn’t expect more though, given your opinion.

      Ok, I didn’t copy and paste the legal definition. Do you actually want me to bother, or are just here to call names?
