The Bad Old Days: Abortion in America Before Roe v. Wade

Safety, then and now

In the year I was born, U.S. vital statistics reported that more than 700 women diedfrom abortion. The true number was substantially higher, and the population of the country was less than half of that today. In 2010, the most recent year with data available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 10 deaths from abortion nationwide. Why the profound change? The principal reason was the legalization of abortion in America. Childbirth-related deaths have decreased over the decades, but not so dramatically. To me, it seems clear: Access to safe, legal abortion saved women’s lives.
