How many women die from abortion? We don't know. Here's why.

Abortion videos: I've gathered the best here.

Brenda Vise died of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy after a chemical abortion at Volunteer Women's Clinic in Tennessee.

Women's deaths before legal abortions: Falling rapidly. Why? For a lot of reasons. All abortion deaths -- "therapeutic", illegal, and spontaneous (miscarriages) were lumped together in abortion mortality statistics of the time. They fell from 1,407 in 1940 to 744 in 1945. By the end of the 1940s, they'd fallen to 263.



And they continued to fall. Look at when the first states started legalizing. Look at Roe. They didn't even make a blip in the mortality trends. (And, by the way, the CDC stopped really trying to identify and count abortion deaths in the mid-1970s, when Willard Cates and David Grimes left the Abortion Surveillance branch. Now it's a miracle if they notice a woman's death at all. You can have an abortionist discussing a death at an event CDC staff are attending and they won't even notice.)
