Medically, that may be true. But it doesn’t change the fact that’s patently wrong.
Medically, that may be true.”
It’s absolutely not true.
Maternal deaths associated with childbirth almost always come down to a pre-existing high-risk condition: structural abnormality of the uterus or cervix, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, renal infufficiency, drugs, alcohol, abuse, gonorrhea, HIV. Note this: that list also includes infections, scarring, cervical incompetence or other harm to the woman's reproductive organs due to previous abortions.
Maternal deaths due to abortion, however, are just as likely to occur when the woman is young, healthy, and reproductively fit. And abortion itself causes complications which heighten the risk of subsequent maternal morbidity and mortality--- wich are then classified, of course, as childbirth-related, not abortion-related.
