Unsafe: death rates – women are dying, too

 

On this page ...  Unwanted abortions, coercive, negligent or assembly-line medical practices, forced abortions and homicide (the #1 killer of pregnant women) are endangering, maiming or killing women, too. After abortion, 65% suffer symptoms of PTSD and maternal death rates are nearly 4 times higher, reflecting profound exploitation, danger, psychological and physical injury to women, including under-reported but significant death rates.
