Which is why I'd prefer it if such decisions can be made very locally. It's easier to see the effect of a change if five counties in New Jersey make it and infant mortality soars compared to the rest of the state than if the entire country makes the change at once. And those counties can also revert to the old policy in less time than it takes to convince an entire country to repeal bad policy. We've made big changes in the past that turned out to be the wrong thing and it takes many years to correct. Prohibition, for example. Or deciding the entire country is going to allow leaded gasoline, instead of allowing cities like Philadelphia to ban it. It took another SEVENTY TWO YEARS to finally get it banned.
