Often, legal abortion deaths are not reported.
“On one occasion, for example, Dr. Lester Hippard, chairman of the Los Angeles County Medical Society Committee, which is charged with keeping track of maternal deaths, told the newspaper reported that there had only been for abortion related deaths officially reported as such. But, Dr. Hippard added, he personally knew of at least four other deaths which it followed legal abortions, but had not been reported as such on the death certificates. Furthermore, he said he was certain that these unreported abortion deaths were only the tip of the iceberg.”
According to one estimate less than 10% of deaths from legal abortion are reported as such.
