Comment on Did 9/11 cause a statistically visible "anti-babyboom"?

This study out of Duke University discusses some effects on births of 9/11. As best I can tell, the effects are mostly a reduced number of men relative to the number of women, increased prematurity, and reduced weight at birth, mostly attributed to the stress the mothers experienced during pregnancy.

I didn’t know that.
And that’s insane if think about it - the fact we can link birth complications to this specific event is a rare insight into how many causal links we are embedded in on a societal level.
