The fertility rate in Flint, Mich., dropped precipitously after the city decided to switch to lead-poisoned Flint River water in 2014, according to a new working paper. That decline was primarily driven by what the authors call a “culling of the least healthy fetuses” resulting in a “horrifyingly large” increase in fetal deaths and miscarriages.

This is genocide. 

[note: anti-choicers stay the fuck off of this post, a groups’ birth rates dropping because they are having miscarriages due to being poisoned is not in any way similar to elective abortions]
