Replying to @๐ป๐ฆPao๐ป The CDC calculates case-fatality rates for women from legal induced abortionsAdded:
That is a really great question. So, within every aspect within healthcare, there are complications.
I can spit numbers at you, but I think it's really easier to just compare to other things that we do in healthcare.
So, when you're talking about medication abortion pills, mifepristone has a safer profile compared to Tylenol, penicillin, and also Viagra.
When you're looking about the abortion procedure, it has a safer profile compared to both a colonoscopy and having your wisdom tooth removed. And when you're comparing it to the actual outcome of continuing to have a pregnancy, it is 14 times safer than having complications from childbirth.
So, abortion care in relative to a lot of other medications or healthcare procedures is actually extremely safe.
And if you are seeking those specific numbers, I'll place them down below as well.
