Millions of the fair sex who have passed through such abortion Receive injuries of varying severity.

But in general, the mass advertising of contraceptives has done its job. C 45, 5 million in 1995. The number of   abortion   It fell to 41, 6 million in 2003, and continued to decline today.
  Doctors only upsets the steady number of unsafe abortions - 20 million a year. Most of them are in poor countries.

Often, the women of those countries have been trying to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, taking absolutely not intended for this purpose drugs or herbal infusions or resorting to all sorts of midwives-lovers.

"It is very sad to realize that on the background of reduction in the overall number of abortions, the number of unsafe abortions has remained stable, - says the president Guttmacher Institute Sharon Camp. - And we once again become convinced that no legal bans do not stop women from trying to terminate a pregnancy . Abortions   still carried out, but only end up with the increasingly tragic. "
