New research shows countries that have more laws protecting women and their unborn babies from abortion have less maternal mortality rates. A study conducted by an international panel of researchers looked at medical information in thirty-two Mexican states. Their results were published in the British Medical Journal and show a twenty-three percent lower maternal mortality in states with pro-life laws. Pro-abortion activists claim these protective laws mean more women will die by illegal abortion. Not so. The research shows there’s a nearly fifty-percent reduction in deaths by abortion in the states protecting the unborn. This research is backed by a Stanford University study published in the Journal of Public Health Policy. It’s proof laws protecting the unborn protect the mothers also.
