From one study that took place right before Roe v. Wade:
“In a series of 73,000 abortions one woman in every 20 had early complications; one in every 200 had major complications.”
These were legal abortions done in California, New York and several other states where abortion was legal before Roe V. Wade, not “back alley” illegal ones.
