Ladies,You Have No Choice by Don Hinrichsen
This is an excerpt found here.
“...the number of women who die
from unsafe abortions every year—estimated minimally
at 70,000 by the World Health Organization—will soar
due to Bush’s policies. Making abortion illegal, or difficult
to obtain, does not stop abortion from happening.
In the Philippines, an overwhelmingly Catholic nation
where abortions are completely illegal, ... estimates
there are half a million a year. Many of them take place
in unsafe, unsanitary conditions.
At just one hospital in
Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia – another country
where abortion is illegal—a study found that half of all
female deaths were from botched back-street abortions.
Half the women in country die from bad abortions? WOW. Abortion needs to remain accessible to women.
