The Negative Health Implications of Restricting Abortion Access
Restricting women’s access to safe and legal abortion services has important negative health implications. We’ve seen that these laws do not result in fewer abortions. Instead, they compel women to risk their lives and health by seeking out unsafe abortion care.According to the World Health Organization, 23,000 women die from unsafe abortions each year and tens of thousands more experience significant health complications globally. A recent study estimated that banning abortion in the U.S. would lead to a 21% increase in the number of pregnancy-related deaths overall and a 33% increase among Black women, simply because staying pregnant is more dangerous than having an abortion. Increased deaths due to unsafe abortions or attempted abortions would be in addition to these estimates.If the current trend in the U.S. persists, “back alley” abortions will be the last resource for women with no access to safe and legal services, and the horrific consequences of such abortions will become a major cause of death and severe health complications for some of the most vulnerable women in this country.The legal status of abortion also defines whether girls will be able to complete their educations and whether women will be able to participate in the workforce, and in public and political life.Improving social safety net programs for women reduces gender gaps and improves girls’ and women’s health and chances to fulfill their potential, and could help reduce the number of abortions over time. Women who are better educated, have better access to comprehensive reproductive health care, and are employed and fairly remunerated will be better positioned to avoid a mistimed and unwanted pregnancy, hence the need for termination will become less common.
#TheForwardFight
The fight forward has already taken root.Since Roe was overturned, Americans have come out to show their strong support for abortion rights and access. And they want their rights and freedoms restored.With your support, the Center for Reproductive Rights will lead the fight to not only restore our reproductive rights, but build new rights enshrined into law—so all people across the U.S. have the freedom to make their own reproductive decisions and define their futures, free from political interference.Here’s our plan:Strengthen rights and access—state-by-state, law-by-law.Build state constitutional protections through litigation and the ballot; advance proactive state policies protecting access across state lines; and repeal medically unnecessary restrictions still in law.Bring the fight directly to states that have banned abortion and endangered their residents.Expose the dreadful harms of abortion bans; ensure access for pregnancy complications and health emergencies; and provide support for people navigating abortion bans.
Secure new federal protections for abortion.Advance the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) in Congress with the support of new partners in local government, businesses, and faith and educational communities; engage with the White House and federal agencies for administrative protections; and block federal anti-abortion measures.We hope you’re with us for #TheForwardFight ahead.
