Now who's the REAL pro-death movement?In Alabama, nine out of 1,000 infants died before celebrating their first birthday in 2016.
That's a higher infant mortality rate than Bahrain, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Ukraine and many other developing countries across the globe, according to the CIA's World Factbook.
Alabama's relatively high infant mortality rate—second only to Mississippi in the United States—also diverges along racial lines: Black babies in Alabama died at three times the rate of white babies in 2015, according to data gathered by the Alabama Department of Public Health presented by AL.com earlier this year.
State officials say Alabama's high infant mortality rate is due to many interlocking factors that are hard to untangle.
