Hooray for abortion - Part 2 Red state race to third world women's health care

Abortion worldwide is fairly common; 56 million yearly, a quarter of all pregnancies. It's even more common for unintended pregnancies; nearly a 57% of the 99 million occurring each year. Two thirds of women live in areas where abortion is restricted or outlawed altogether. This is where virtually all of the 23,000 annual abortion related deaths occur, from abortions performed in unsafe places by untrained practitioners using unsafe methods.

We don't know if the 8 cruel state legislatures are aware of these figures when they pass regressive, restrictive anti-abortion laws. But there actions are sure pointing their states in that direction. For US women without means...welcome to the third world.
