Abortion Bans Have Increased Pregnant Women’s Risk of Dying

Newsweek - Abortion bans across the U.S. are increasing the health risks faced by pregnant women, according to new research that highlights how pregnancy continues to have a much high mortality rate abortion.  Researchers who analyzed national birth and mortality data say women with high-risk pregnancies are now more likely to carry them to term because they no longer have access to abortion care in many states, placing them at greater risk of dying in or after labor.
