"" I suspect more women are dying from them now than did pre-Roe. ""

Not officially. But the records the states keep aren't reliable, at all for good comparisons.

And, all maternal deaths dropped significantly in the last 40 years, because of improvements in antibiotics, surgery and all sorts of medical treatments.

Now, if we could ever compare numbers of complications, that would be interesting. After 15 weeks pregnancy, abortion is statistically less safe for the mother than carrying the child to term.

I guess I find it surprising that more women aren't dying, since the number of yearly abortions has increased something like a hundredfold, hasn't it?
