Premature childbirths skyrocket in Puerto Rico

Another sign of our decent into a true third world state given the news today that 1 in 5, 20%, babies born in Puerto Rico is born premature. This figure has gone up one percent every year for the last five years. One could speculate it is because of the total ineptitude of our government giving rise to depression in young mothers. Congratulations, Puerto Rico now has the highest percentile of premature babies of all the US jurisdictions.
