From an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association:
The so-called ‘freestanding clinics,’ which do over 90% of all abortions in the U.S., are often little better than back-alley operations that have been legalized . . . .’ Complications following abortions performed in free-standing clinics is one of the most frequent gynecological emergencies . . . encountered. Even life-endangering complications rarely come to the attention of the physician who performed the abortion unless the incident entails litigation. The statistics presented by Cates represent substantial under reporting and disregard women’s reluctance to return to a clinic, where, in their mind, they received inadequate treatment.'”
