The Case for Repealing ALL Anti-Abortion Laws

[LeftOfWest]

10. Important. VERY good and true read.

Page 7: The Trouble with Laws

"Laws against abortion do nothing to stop abortion, or even reduce them. A recent study by the World Health Organization28 found that overall abortion rates in the world are similar, regardless of whether
abortion is illegal in words, restrictive abortion laws are not associated with a low abortion rate. In fact, in countries where abortion is widely available (including Canada) there has typically been a decline in abortion rates over time, especially when contraception use rises.
In countries that have banned safe abortion, about 19 million desperate women seek illegal abortions every year. 68,000 women die every year as a result, and at least five million are hospitalized due to complications. Countries with strict abortion bans (mostly in the developing world) usually allow an exception to save the woman’s life. Ironically, such bans result in many times more maternal deaths than in countries with more liberal abortion laws. The hypocrisy of laws that pretend to save women’s lives, but which actually slaughter them by the thousands, demands their immediate repeal."

68,0000 Women's deaths just seeking a medical procedure that keeps Women safe and healthy...enough.

Abortion, safe and legal.


You are right that we have to start somewhere and some time or it will never change.

This info you post at this site on this is VERY helpful to this very Vocal voter with my Reps, locals to feds.

Thank you.
