Boy, it's sure a good thing women don't have to resort to those nasty, back-alley abortions performed by unqualified hackers posing as doctors. That would be a tragedy.

heh. Right. Prior to Roe already about 90% of all abortions were performed in hospitals by licensed physicians. They called them(and billed for) D&C's and miscarriages and such. Nowadays they don't have to lie about their practices in the same way. They just have to describe a cause of death as, say, "hemorrhage," or "Sepsis," but without identifying the originating cause. Most maternal abortion deaths go unreported as such, unlike this particular case.
