Unsafe: death rateswomen are dying, too

 

On this page ... Unwanted abortions, coercion from all sides, negligent or profit-driven counseling, forced abortions and homicides (the #1 killer of pregnant women) are hurting, maiming or killing women, too, before and during abortion. After abortion, 65% suffer symptoms of PTSD and maternal death rates are nearly 4 times higher, reflecting even further profound human rights abuse and psychological and physical injury to women.
 

 

Higher risk of death. Compared to women who give birth, women who abort have an elevated risk of death from all causes, which persists for at least eight years. Higher risk of death from suicide and accidents were most prominent. - Southern Medical Journal, 2002
