Illegal Abortion Stamp

Description

The stamp pretty much sums it up. No matter how much pro-lifers piss and moan about abortion, or whether or not it is legal, there will always be people who practice it.
And in places where abortion is illegal, pregnant people do not have access to professional medical care and cannot get the abortion safely. As a result, many of them die along with the fetus. It's not very pro-life to want two lives to be lost instead of one. Pro-lifers, keep your opinions on abortion out of the legal system.

This is the definition of an unsafe abortion (here, I'm using the words "unsafe" and "illegal" synonymously because they usually are in regards to abortion):

1. An unsafe abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by people lacking the necessary skills, or in an environment lacking minimal medical standards, or both.

Again, unsafe abortions are usually done illegally because there is no safe option.  

Here is a list of commonly used legal abortion procedures during the first, second and (rarely) third trimesters of pregnancy. The D&E procedure is commonly used during the second trimester. And as you can see, the health risks to the pregnant person are extremely minimal. Giving birth is more dangerous than getting a safe, legal abortion. If you want details on the other procedures and surgeries, I'm sure WebMD has all of the info about each one. I looked at WebMD because it's not a biased site, and it always has good information. It's where I always go when I have a question about a health issue I'm dealing with.

Here is a list of facts form the peer-reviewed study I linked above:
1. An estimated 19–20 million unsafe abortions take place every year, and 97% of these are in developing countries.
2. Despite its frequency, unsafe abortion remains one of the most neglected global public health challenges.
3. An estimated 68,000 women die every year from unsafe abortion, and millions more are injured, many permanently.
4. Leading causes of death are hemorrhage, infection, and poisoning from substances used to induce abortion.
5. Access to modern contraception can reduce but never eliminate the need for abortion.
6. Legalization of abortion is a necessary but insufficient step toward eliminating unsafe abortion.
7. When abortion is made legal, safe, and easily accessible, women’s health rapidly improves. By contrast, women’s health deteriorates when access to safe abortion is made more difficult or illegal.
8. Legal abortion in developed countries is one of the safest procedures in contemporary practice, with case-fatality rates less than one death per 100,000 procedures.
9. Manual vacuum aspiration (a handheld syringe as a suction source) and medical methods of inducing abortion have reduced complications.
10. Treating complications of unsafe abortion overwhelms impoverished health-care services and diverts limited resources from other critical health-care programs.
11. The underlying causes of this global pandemic are apathy and disdain for women; they suffer and die because they are not valued.
