Abortion bans will expose women giving birth to "44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion," according to a new study from the University of Maryland and Brown University.
The lead author, Maria Steenland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland's School of Public Health, claims, "Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized."
But what is the new evidence their analysis is based on?
Two numbers. First, the number of maternal deaths associated with childbirth which are required to be reported and systematically investigated in all 50 states. Second, the number of deaths reported as due to abortion . . . which are not systematically reported, much less routinely investigated, in any of the 50 states.
So, remember the fact that any number divided by zero is infinitely high.
That means that the better the job abortion proponents do in ignoring, hiding or disguising abortion related deaths the ratio of maternal childbirth deaths to abortion deaths will continue to rise, even unto infinity. So a ratio of 44 to 70 childbirth to abortion deaths is just a good start. But no matter what number they choose to report, it is false.
