In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court sides with NRA in free speech ruling that curbs government pressure campaigns [View all]EX500rider
(12,837 posts)45. It is correct
1st, 19 year old's are not "children", they could well be Sergeants in the US military if they joined at 17.
They have to add the 17 to 19yo's to get that "fact".
If you break it down by age you will find the leading cause of death amoung actual children is still accidents.
The leading causes of death for children vary by age group:
01 year: Developmental and genetic conditions present at birth, premature birth, and accidents
14 years: Accidents, congenital abnormalities, and homicide
59 years: Accidents, cancer, and congenital abnormalities
1014 years: Accidents, intentional self-harm, and cancer

This is not correct. Currently, the leading cause of death for children 1-19yrs is gun violence.

I will go with NIH, CDC, New England Journal of Medicine, and President Joe Biden.

This can cut both ways, as it should also apply to red state officials coming after ESG and the like.

Could this effect how Congress has been blocking funding to things like Planned Parenthood?
