Abortion Before The 1973: A Case Study
Overview: Abortion before the 1973 was illegal. Before abortion became legal women were doing it very unsafe way. In the 1940s there were over 1000 dying every years from doing unsafe and self induced abortions. One study that was conducted in 1932 and it had estimated that there was an average of 15,000 deaths of woman from doing self induce abortions or complications from the abortion. 42 % of of the maternal mortality rate was from doing unsafe abortions. These deaths were from doing self harm. The women would died from the abortion because they could not get treated for the reason that they didn’t want to be punished and social ostracized. They only thing the U.S. would allow large municipal hospitals to have is a “ septic abortion ward”.
