Myth: “If abortion becomes
illegal, tens of thousands of women will die again from back-alley and coat hanger
abortions.”
Truth:
-Women never died “by the
thousands”: this figure was fabricated by pro-abortionists (see Abortion Myth #1). The highest verified figure is 388
maternal deaths in 1948, before anti-biotics became available.
-For decades prior to
legalization, 90% of abortions were performed by doctors in their offices,
about the same number as today.
- Women still die from legal abortions in the United States [here, here].
-The same pro-abortion activists
who warn about coat hangers and the back alley fight strenuously
against any
regulation of abortion clinics, even standard health regulations, that they
believe might discourage abortions (see Davis, Wendy).
-Because pro-abortion activists
oppose regulation of abortion facilities, and the politicians who rely on their
financial support look the other way, brutal and deadly abortionists like
Kermit Gosnell are able to flourish.
-Every year more than half a million unborn women die in legal abortions in the United States.
-Every year more than half a million unborn women die in legal abortions in the United States.
-Poland went from 148,200
abortions in 1975 to only 253 in 1998, and maternal deaths decreased by 30%,
and miscarriages decreased by 25!
