Pro-life advocates are criticizing a new paper claiming that abortion is so overwhelmingly “safe” that abortion-specific regulations in many states are “unnecessary.” The paper found that all four main abortion procedures used in the United States—medication, aspiration, dilation and evacuation (D&E), and induction were “clearly safe.” Critics point out, however, that the paper ignored the safety of the preborn baby when making this claim. The paper also failed to mention the hundreds of documented women who have died as a direct result of having a legal abortion.
American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists executive director Dr. Donna Harrison told Catholic News Agency that the “politically motivated” report discounted multiple very real medical risks to women, on top of ignoring the fact that “abortion is never safe for the unborn child.”
