282,000 dead females

LONDON — Abortion rates are higher in countries where the procedure is illegal and nearly half of all abortions worldwide are unsafe, with the vast majority in developing countries, a new study concludes.

Experts couldn't say whether more liberal laws led to fewer procedures, but said good access to birth control in those countries resulted in fewer unwanted pregnancies.

The global abortion rate remained virtually unchanged from 2003 to 2008, at about 28 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, a total of about 43.8 million abortions, according to the study. The rate had previously been dropping since 1995.

About 47,000 women died from unsafe abortions in 2008, and another 8.5 million women had serious medical complications. Almost all unsafe abortions were in developing countries, where family planning and contraceptive programs have mostly leveled off.

In six (6) years, from 2003 to 2008, there were:

51 million serious medical complications
282,000 dead females

A spurious correlation, perhaps?

Obama Defends Roe v. Wade As Way for ‘Our Daughters’ to Have Chance...to ‘Fulfill Their Dreams’

What about the aborted daughters' right to fulfill their dreams?

If "fulfilling their dreams" involves the killing of a human, I should like to see better dreams!
