Bottom Line

Content: Doctors think the actual number of deaths from illegal abortion was a lot higher. Attempts to prohibit abortion particularly hurt people with low incomes: A survey conducted in the 1960s found that among women with low incomes in New York City who had obtained an abortion, eight in 10 had attempted a dangerous, self-induced procedure. After Roe v. Wade: Safe Abortion Access
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade on January 22, 1973 gave people the right to access abortion legally all across the country (although that right doesn’t mean everyone has access). The case also prevented many people dying from unsafe, illegal abortions. When people can legally and affordably access abortion, it’s one of the safest medical procedures. In the United States, abortion has a safety record of over 99%. FACT: Abortion is health care.
