Prior to the legalization of abortion in 1973, approximately 39 women died per year from illegal abortions.

Since 1973, approximately 22 women die each year from legal abortions.

This is from the CDC themselves, although they try to hide this info as much as possible. Also, reporting these abortion deaths is not mandatory, it is up to each state, so these stats are suspect to begin with.

I have a feeling those numbers are quite a bit higher ---they don't include every abortion death, they can change the cause of death to infection or spontaneous hemorrhage and never put down the real cause of death ----often the families are just as eager not to have the real cause of death listed.

This would obviously omit suicides from depression.

Do you have a link for these stats?

Yes --- always suspect the stats from abortion deaths ---- many can be covered up with other diagnoses. Especially since they don't die per-se of the abortion but from uterine perforage, septicemia, shock, hemorrage, and suicide.
