Judge strikes Mississippi abortion law,, notes "sad irony" of men deciding abortion rights.

26.4 women will die in the U.S. for every 100,000 love births (2016 data). Worldwide 1 woman dies from childbirth complications every 2 minutes, and for every one that dies 20-30 are left with severe long-lasting complications.

Every year around 68,000 women worldwide die from lack of access to safe abortions.

Know how many women died in the U.S. from 1973-2013 during the period after Roe was passed? A total of 500 in 40 years.

Make no mistake a woman, even in an industrial country with decent access to healthcare, is taking her life in her hands when she decides to carry a pregnancy to term. Which is why it should ultimately be a woman's choice, and keeping abortions safe, legal and rare will continue to be a necessary part of womens' healthcare.
