(Life Site News) Pro-life advocates are criticizing a new paper claiming that abortion is so overwhelmingly “safe” that abortion-specific regulations in many states are “unnecessary.”
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released the 240-page paper, titled “The Safety and Quality of Abortion Care in the United States,” this week.
The paper, funded by organizations who have made charitable donations to Planned Parenthood, purports to provide a “comprehensive review of the current state of the science related to the provision of safe, high-quality abortion services in the United States.”
It evaluated the four main abortion procedures used in the United States—medication, aspiration, dilation and evacuation (D&E), and induction—on a range of criteria, including safety and effectiveness.
The paper found that all four methods were “clearly safe.” Critics point out, however, that the paper ignored the safety of the preborn baby when making this claim. The paper also failed to mention the hundreds of documented women (here and here) who have died as a direct result of having a legal abortion.
American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists executive director Dr. Donna Harrison told Catholic News Agency that the “politically motivated” report discounted multiple very real medical risks to women, on top of ignoring the fact that “abortion is never safe for the unborn child.”

“Abortion can harm women immediately with the risks of bleeding and damage to their womb and other pelvic organs,” she said. Harrison underscored how abortion has been associated with harming women “psychologically, increasing their risk of suicide, drug abuse, and hospitalization from depression.”
