I’d love to make an “in memory” list of all of the women killed from unsafe, illegal abortions that pro-lifers are fighting so hard for, but a list of nearly 70,000 people around the world per year is a little excessive for a Tumblr post.
Abortion is a very safe procedure. Complications and especially deaths are horrible, but uncommon. Pretending safe and legal abortions are dangerous does not stop them, and making them illegal does not make them any safer.
Most of these deaths occurred in the 70’s and 80’s. There’s only three people on here from after the year 2000, and none in the 2010’s. Abortion has become a very safe procedure in the last 40 years.

I would love to make an “in memory” list of all of the children killed from safe, legal abortions that pro-choicers are fighting so hard for, but a list of nearly 44 million children around the world per year is a little excessive for a Tumblr post.
