Reproductive health fact: In the United States, the pregnancy-related mortality rate in term delivery is about fourteen (14) times greater than the mortality rate due to induced abortion.
That means abortion is over FOURTEEN TIMES safer than childbirth, with less than 0.5 deaths per 100,000 abortions!
