Car Seats as Contraception (2020)

I found their dissimilar wording peculiar the 8k gets the qualifier “permanent” but the 57 deaths do not. Glad to hear they would have been temporary deaths, perhaps similar to witches turning people in newts.

I get they are talking about in particular year and perhaps want to emphasize the births aren’t simply delayed but the way it’s phrased is off putting

I think “permanent” just means they were not deferred, in this context.

If the births happened next year it would still be an 8k reduction in this year, but not a permanent one.

Yes that’s what I said… “ I get they are talking about in [a] particular year and perhaps want to emphasize the births aren’t simply delayed but the way it’s phrased is off putting”
