More babies are being born with severe birth defects. Scientists believe this increase may be due to fetal fentanyl syndrome.

‘Fetal fentanyl syndrome’: How fentanyl exposure is stunting babies’ development

New York Post

Severe birth defects have become increasingly common as new research points to fentanyl misuse as a new possible cause.

Recently, at least 30 infants across the US have been born with “fetal fentanyl syndrome,” NBC News reported on Friday — a rare condition caused by mothers using the street drug while pregnant. 

“I have identified 20 patients,” Dr. Miguel Del Campo, a medical geneticist and infant addiction specialist at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego told NBC. “I fear that this is not rare, and I fear kids are going unrecognized.”

Fetal fentanyl syndrome was initially defined by geneticists at Nemours Children’s...

Former Bush campaign manager Karl Rove joined Fox News on Friday and predicted Vice President Kamala Harris will soon have a solid lead over Donald Trump in the polls. “So let’s talk about where the race is, because in some battleground states, the polls seem to have been narrowing. Let’s put it up here Arizona. Trump still leads, though one poll has got Harris up by two. Same thing in Nevada. Wisconsin, Trump holds a very narrowly missed Michigan. Trump is ahead, but Harris is up 11 in one new poll, which I think might be an outlier. Trump continues to lead in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. He’s still got the advantage, Karl, but she’s gaining momentum, there’s no question,” began anchor John Roberts.
