QUESTION PRESENTED

Given the centrality of health arguments in this

case, should this Court keep in mind that the

proposition that abortion is remarkably safe, even safer

than childbirth, is unsupported and almost certainly

incorrect?

INTEREST OF AMICUS1

The American Center for Law and Justice (“ACLJ”)

is an organization dedicated to the defense of

constitutional liberties secured by law, including the

defense of the sanctity of human life. ACLJ attorneys

have appeared frequently before this Court as counsel

for parties, e.g., Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, 555

U.S. 460 (2009), or for amici, e.g., June Medical Services

v. Russo, 140 S. Ct. 2103 (2020), addressing a variety of

issues.2

The present amicus brief addresses the widely

trumpeted, but surprisingly unsupported, misconception

that abortion has been proven to be safe and routine,

even safer than childbirth.

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

This case addresses a challenge to the

constitutionality of COVID-related limits on medical

procedures, specifically regarding surgical abortions,3 as

1

Counsel for the parties in this case received timely notice of the

intent to file this brief and emailed consent to its filing. No

counsel for any party authored this brief in whole or in part. No

person or entity aside from amicus, its members, or its counsel

made a monetary contribution to the preparation or submission

of this brief.

2

This brief is also filed on behalf of more than 185,000 supporters

of the ACLJ as an expression of their support for not privileging

abortion over a common-sense safety response to COVID.

3

The Sixth Circuit majority referred to surgical abortion as

“procedural abortion,” e.g., Pet. App. 5a. Amicus uses the more

(continued...)

2

well as the mootness vel non of that challenge in light of

the subsequent expiration of the challenged COVID

restriction.

Given the nature of the restriction – a temporary

halt to surgical abortions — this case starkly highlights

a recurring contradiction in abortion advocacy. The

abortion proponents claim, on the one hand, that

“abortion is extremely safe throughout pregnancy,”

Plffs. 6th Cir. Br. at 5 (quoted at Pet. App. 45a), but

simultaneously claim, on the other hand, that

“[d]elaying a woman’s access to abortion even by a

matter of days can result in her having to undergo a

lengthier and more complex procedure that involves

progressively greater health risks,” Pet. App. at 65a

(district court citing plaintiffs’ evidentiary declarations).

To repeat, per the abortion advocates, abortion is always

“extremely” safe, but even a short delay in having an

abortion gives rise to an unacceptable – indeed,

unconstitutional – health risk to the mother.4

These two propositions cannot both be true, and

they are not. In fact, abortions pose significant maternal

(...continued)

customary term “surgical abortion.” See, e.g., Stanley Henshaw,

“Unintended Pregnancy and Abortion: A Public Health

Perspective,” in A Clinician’s Guide to Medical and Surgical

Abortion (M. Paul et al., eds. 1999)

4

Abortionists themselves do not act like abortions must be

available immediately. If they did, they would provide abortions

every day of the week, instead of selected days. E.g., Planned

Parenthood of Ind. & Ky. v. Comm’r of Ind. State Dep’t of Health,

896 F.3d 809, 814 (7th Cir. 2018) (noting “exceptionally limited”

number of abortion days), vacated on other grounds sub nom. Box

v. Planned Parenthood of Ind. & Ky., 207 L. Ed. 2d 1112 (2020).

health risks throughout pregnancy, as demonstrated

below. (And yes, those risks increase the later the

abortion is done, while perhaps not at the breakneck

rate abortionists suggest.) If one follows the science, it

is statistically safer to bear a child than to abort.

It is essential in cases like these that this Court

understand that abortion, as currently practiced in the

United States (and other developed nations), is often the

occasion of medical mishaps, even serious injuries and

deaths. In particular, the assertion that abortion is

somehow safer than childbirth – an assertion echoed in

this Court’s opinion in Whole Woman’s Health, see infra

§ II(A), (E) – is an unsupported fiction, contrary to

sound, published medical evidence.

That last statement merits repetition: The claim

that abortion is safer than childbirth is a fiction, resting

on demonstrably flawed premises and refuted by study

after study.

ARGUMENT

No one expects to see an ambulance pulling away

from a dermatology or dental office. Yet ambulances are

a not uncommon sight at abortion facilities. This sorry

fact is just one of many that belie the abortion industry

myth that abortion is safe and routine, even safer than

childbirth. As demonstrated below, abortion in fact is a

hazardous procedure that all too often results in serious

complications. Moreover, the common claim of abortion

advocates that abortion is safer than childbirth is based

upon incomplete data and flagrantly inapt comparisons.

4

The published medical evidence strongly suggests that

abortion is more dangerous, not less, than childbirth.

I.

ABORTION IS A POTENTIALLY

HAZARDOUS PROCEDURE.

Respondents claim that “abortion is extremely safe

throughout pregnancy,” Plffs. 6th Cir. Br. at 5 (quoted

at Pet. App. 45a). This is false.

A. Ambulance calls

People who visit a dentist, ophthalmologist, or

dermatologist do not typically leave in an ambulance.

Yet that is a frighteningly common occurrence at

abortion facilities. A list of documented incidents from

2009 through 2020, citing sources, is included as

Appendix B to this brief. (This list excludes incidents

that were not published online or for which the exact

date could not be ascertained.)

This list is just the tip of the iceberg. The news

media do not generally report on medical emergencies at

abortion facilities. Reports of such occurrences therefore

are almost exclusively done by pro-life investigators or

sidewalk counselors who witness and report an

incident.5 Regarding the latter, documentation occurs

only if such persons (1) are present outside abortion

facilities, (2) remain there long enough to witness an

incident (possibly many hours after the pregnant

women entered the facilities), (3) witness/record the

5

See McCullen v. Coakley, 573 U.S. 464, 472-73 (2014)

(distinguishing between protesters and sidewalk counselors).

5

incident, and (4) report the incident to some entity with

a media platform, which entity then publishes an

account of the incident. Appendix B therefore markedly

understates the actual number of incidents in which

abortion patients required emergency transport. See,

e.g., Letter of Batool Raza, Ass’t Gen. Counsel, Boston

Pub. Health Comm’n (May 14, 2019) (responding to

public records request with report of 10 ambulance calls

to one particular abortion facility over one-year period);6

Planned Parenthood of Greater Tex. Surgical Health

Servs. v. Abbott, 748 F.3d 583, 595 (5th Cir. 2014)

(“During these proceedings, Planned Parenthood

conceded that at least 210 women in Texas annually

must be hospitalized after seeking an abortion”); Cheryl

Sullenger, “Court Records Indicate Nearly 1,000

Abortion Patients Likely Hospitalized Annually in

Texas,” Operation Rescue (Apr. 22, 2014), https://tiny

url.com/TexasER.

Moreover, not all serious complications after

abortion manifest themselves quickly enough to result

in ambulance transport from the abortion facility itself.

Indeed, the abortion providers in Whole Woman’s Health

v. Hellerstedt insisted with their expert evidence that

“in respect to surgical abortion patients who do suffer

complications requiring hospitalization, most of these

complications occur in the days after the abortion, not on

the spot,” 136 S. Ct. 2292, 2311 (2016) (emphasis

added). The abortion providers in June Medical went so

far as to characterize it as a “universal fact” that

“complications are most likely to occur after the

6

had previously been reported, so far as amicus is aware.

6

patient has left the clinic,” Pet. Br. at 25, June

Medical, No. 18-1323 (U.S. Nov. 25, 2019). Thus, for

example, a patient at a Maryland abortion facility was

transported after the fact, by her family, to an

emergency room; she subsequently died. Operation

Rescue, “Carhart Patient Dead From Horrific 33-Week

Abortion Injuries” (Feb. 8, 2013), https://tinyurl.com/

CarhartPtDth. A woman who had an abortion at a

Boston Planned Parenthood thereafter suffered

“pronounced and constant” bleeding, which “included

clots as large as a baseball,” made two trips to the ER,

and ultimately learned that “about 3/4 of the fetus had

been retained” in her womb. Cplt., Ex. A at 2-3, Davis v.

Mark, No. 19-0119H (Suffolk Superior Ct. Jan. 14,

2019), https://tinyurl.com/Davis-v-Mark-Cplt. Another

post-abortion woman had her mother take her to the

hospital after she went home; she apparently came

within an hour of dying from internal bleeding. Cheryl

Sullenger, “One Hour From Death: Abortion Patient

Warns of Incompetence, Squalor at North Carolina

Abortion Mill” Operation Rescue (Nov. 2, 2015),

https://tinyurl.com/NC-ER1hr.

The long and sorry list of ambulance transfers,

Appendix B, while plainly just the tip of the iceberg,

suggests the regularity of serious complications

associated with abortion.

B. Maternal abortion deaths

Abortion can be fatal to the mother. See, e.g., The

Pro-Choice Death List, www.safeandlegal.com/the-pro-

7

choice-death-list/ (listing over 250 women who died from

abortion).7 Here are some recent examples:

•

An unnamed woman, see Greg Garrison, “Death of

woman after abortion at Tuscaloosa clinic

investigated,” AL.com (Aug. 13, 2020);

•

Tia Parks, see Cheryl Sullenger, “Autopsy Confirms

Abortion Clinic Killed Young Woman in Botched

Legal Abortion,” LifeNews (Sept. 23, 2019) (with

link to autopsy report);

•

Jamie Lee Morales, see Vera Dobnik, “Doctor pleads

guilty in fatal abortion,” Associated Press (May 5,

2018);

•

Keisha Marie Atkins, see Susan Berry, “Woman

Dead After Late-Term Abortion in New Mexico,”

Breitbart News (Aug. 23, 2017) (with link to autopsy

report);

•

Cree Erwin-Sheppard, see Rosemary Parker, “Dead

woman’s ultrasound showed clot, problems after

abortion, records show,” Mlive.com (Apr. 13, 2017);

7

II. THE CLAIM THAT ABORTION IS SAFER

THAN CHILDBIRTH IS UNSUPPORTED.

The common refrain that abortion is safer than

childbirth is unsupported and almost certainly false.

Indeed, the premises underlying this fiction are

embarrassingly inadequate, as demonstrated below.

A. Relevance to abortion jurisprudence

An understanding about the relative safety of

abortion versus childbirth has been an important

consideration in this Court’s abortion jurisprudence.

Most notably, the trimester framework that was

established in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), and

which governed abortion cases until Planned

Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), hinged in part

on the “factual assumption,” City of Akron v. Akron Ctr.

for Reprod. Health, 462 U.S. 416, 430 n.12 (1983), that

“until the end of the first trimester mortality in abortion

may be less than mortality in normal childbirth.” Roe,

410 U.S. at 163. See also id. at 149 & n.44 (asserting

that “[m]ortality rates for women undergoing early

abortions, where the procedure is legal, appear to be as

low as or lower than the rates for normal childbirth”)

(citing, inter alia, abortion mortality figures from U.S.

Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW)).

9

In Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt (WWH), this

Court referred to material in the record asserting that

“[n]ationwide, childbirth is 14 times more likely than

abortion to result in death,” 136 S. Ct. 2292, 2315 (2016)

(addressed infra §II(E)). As noted infra § II(C), (D), the

statistical premises for this claim collapse under

scrutiny.

B. Repetition of the fiction

The persistence of this fiction is understandable.

Abortion providers and advocates have long repeated

the mantra that abortion (at least early abortion) is

safer than childbirth. See, e.g., Nat’l Abortion Fed’n

(NAF), “Safety of Abortion,” (2006), https://tinyurl.

com/NAFAbSafety (“Complications from having a first

trimester aspiration abortion are considerably less

frequent and less serious than those associated with

giving birth”).8 Planned Parenthood also has a post

claiming that “abortion is . . . 11 times safer than giving

birth,” see “Is abortion safe?” Planned Parenthood,

https://tinyurl.com/PPAbSafeTeens. See also “Medical

and Social Health Benefits Since Abortion Was Made

Legal in the U.S.,” Planned Parenthood, https://tiny

8

NAF has not revised this page since December 2006. Elsewhere

on its website, NAF asserts that “abortion is safer than getting a

dental procedure or cosmetic surgery . . . and much safer than

childbirth” and that “in the United States, a woman is about 15 to

25 times more likely to die in childbirth than she is during an

abortion. . . ,” Nat’l Abortion Fed’n, “Abortion: What to Expect”

(Mar. 29, 2014) https://prochoice.org/patients/abortion-what-toexpect/ (citations omitted).

10

childbirth is about 14 times as high as that associated

with abortion”). The National Academies of Sciences,

Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) most recently has

taken up the same mantle, see NAS, “The Safety and

Quality of Abortion Care in the United States” at 74-75

(2018).9 The challengers in Whole Woman’s Health made

the same assertion. Their complaint repeatedly asserted

that abortion was safer than childbirth. No. 15-274,

Cplt. ¶¶ 80, 105, 130 (No. 15-274, JA 148, 154, 160).

The WWH complaint went so far as to assert that the

risk of maternal death was 14 times higher in childbirth

than abortion. Id. Such allegations are presumably

9

NAS shows bias in the very title of its report, employing the

phrase “abortion care”. Use of this term as a substitute for

“abortion” is apparently a recent marketing strategy. Until Judge

Pregerson used the term in a 2012 opinion for the Ninth Circuit,

McCormack v. Hiedeman, 694 F.3d 1004, 1012, 1018 (9th Cir.

2012), the phrase does not (according to a LEXIS search) appear

in any federal circuit court opinion, other than as a quotation of

other sources or document titles. This Court has not used the

phrase at all except once when quoting a witness for the abortion

providers in Whole Woman’s Health, 136 S. Ct. at 2316. The

phrase, however, appears to be becoming de rigeur in abortion

advocacy circles and among their sympathizers. The point of the

phrase “abortion care” is presumably to soften the impact of the

stark word “abortion” by adding the appealing word “care.”

Nevertheless, the phrase “abortion care” is awkward and, from

the perspective of abortion proponents, redundant. A surgeon

does a heart bypass, not “heart bypass care.” A technician does a

mammogram, not “mammogram care”. And an abortionist does

abortions, not “abortion care.” See also ProMedica Health Sys. v.

FTC, 749 F.3d 559, 567 (6th Cir. 2014) (invoking “Orwell’s

admonition to use concrete terms instead of vague ones, see

Orwell, Politics and the English Language (1946)”).

11

aimed to support the claim that when abortion becomes

unavailable, risk to maternal health increases.

C. Refutation of the fiction and possible

backpedaling

Amicus ACLJ filed a brief in Whole Woman’s Health

that thoroughly refuted the claim that abortion is safer

than childbirth. See Amicus Brief of American Center

for Law & Justice et al., Whole Woman’s Health v.

Hellerstedt, No. 15-274 (Feb. 2, 2016) (ACLJ WWH

brief), https://tinyurl.com/WWH-ACLJ-Amicus. The

ACLJ filed an updated amicus brief making this

argument in June Medical. See Amicus Brief of

American Center for Law & Justice et al., June Medical

Serivces LLC v. Gee, Nos. 18-1323 & 18-1460) (ACLJ

June Medical brief) https://tinyurl.com/June-MedicalACLJ-Amicus.

Perhaps for reasons similar to those set forth in

those ACLJ amicus briefs, major abortion advocacy

groups may be quietly backing off the claim that

abortion is safer than childbirth. For example, Planned

Parenthood removed a similar claim from its website.

Compare “In-Clinic Abortion Procedures,” Planned

Parenthood, https://tinyurl.com/PP-Apr-2016 (Apr. 21,

2016 version; click on “How Safe Are In-Clinic Abortion

Procedures?”) (“the risk of death from childbirth is 11

times greater than the risk of death from an abortion

procedure during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy”) with

“How safe is an in-clinic abortion?” Planned Parenthood,

https://tinyurl.com/PPcurrent (no longer making that

12

claim).10 NAF, meanwhile, has not updated its similar

assertion in over a decade, supra note 10.

D. Dissecting the fiction

The abandonment of the claim that abortion is safer

than childbirth would be a strategically wise choice for

abortion advocates, as the claim lacks defensible

support – in short, it is a fiction resting on inapposite

and incomplete data.

The faulty claim rests essentially upon a

comparison of pregnancy mortality (formerly called

“maternal mortality”) and abortion mortality statistics

published by the federal Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC). See, e.g., Elizabeth G. Raymond

& David A. Grimes, “The Comparative Safety of Legal

Induced Abortion and Childbirth in the United States,”

119 Obstet. Gynec. 215, 215-16 (2012), https://tinyurl.

13

Grimes” (Aug. 2012), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

pmc/articles/PMC6027034/.

As demonstrated below, the claim that abortion is

safer than childbirth at all, much less by an order of

magnitude, is unsupported and almost certainly

incorrect. See, e.g., Byron Calhoun, Systematic Review:

The maternal mortality myth in the context of legalized

abortion, 80 The Linacre Q. 264 (2013), https://tiny

url.com/BCalhounSysRev. This Court therefore should

not assume that access to abortion provides a life- or

health-saving benefit to pregnant women, either during

a pandemic or otherwise.

While the Roe Court treated the relative safety of

(early) abortion over childbirth as “now-established

medical fact,” 410 U.S. at 163, this “fact” – properly

recharacterized thereafter by the Akron Court as a

“factual assumption,” 462 U.S at 430 n.12 – is no such

thing. First, the unthinking comparison of pregnancy

mortality and abortion mortality statistics is not

probative because there are crucial differences in the

derivation of these statistics. It is a comparison of

apples and oranges. Infra. Second, the medical

literature strongly, arguably overwhelmingly, indicates

that abortion is poor health care for women, particular

as compared to the alternative of childbirth, infra § III.

Key points about the flawed basis for the abortionis-safer claim include the following:

First, abortion deaths are also counted as

“pregnancy deaths,” thereby misleadingly

inflating the measure of deaths supposedly from

14

childbirth.12 This point bears emphasis: when a woman

dies from abortion, that death counts both as an

abortion mortality13 and as a pregnancy mortality. With

such an approach, the results are mathematically

stacked against childbirth ever being deemed safer than

abortion. Consider: even if every single woman in a

single year who had an abortion died from the

procedure, and only one woman that year died from a

miscarriage or complication of childbirth, the total

number of deaths in the “pregnancy mortality” category

for that year would still exceed the total deaths in the

“abortion mortality” category.

12

“A pregnancy-related death is defined as the death of a woman

while pregnant or within 1 year of the end of a

pregnancy–regardless of the outcome, duration or site of the

pregnancy–from any cause related to or aggravated by the

pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or

incidental causes.” CDC, “Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance

System,” https://tinyurl.com/CDCPregMortality (emphasis added).

The CDC acknowledges that its tally of abortion deaths is taken

from the CDC’s Pregnancy Mortality System and thus represents

a subset of deaths that are double-counted as both pregnancy

deaths and abortion deaths. See Karen Pazol, et al., “Abortion

Surveillance – United States, 2010,” CDC Morbidity & Mortality

Wkly. Rep.: Surveillance Summaries (Nov. 29, 2013), https://tiny

url.com/CDC-Pazol; id. at 4 (first para. under Methods subsection

Abortion Mortality: describing criterion for listing a “pregnancyrelated death” as also an “abortion-related death”; second para.

under Methods subsection Abortion Mortality: “Since 1987, CDC

has monitored abortion-related deaths through its Pregnancy

Mortality Surveillance System”); id. at 8 (first para. under Results

subsection Abortion Mortality: “Using national data from the

Pregnancy Surveillance System” to identify abortion deaths).

13

At least, it should count as an abortion death. But see infra pp.

17-18 (noting problem of undercounting abortion deaths as such).

15

This makes comparison of the two figures positively

absurd. The abortion mortality rate – “legal induced

abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal

abortions,” Tara C. Jatlaoui, et al., “Abortion

Surveillance – United States, 2016,” 68 Morbidity &

Mortality Wkly. Rep. 1, 11 (Nov. 29, 2019),

https://tinyurl.com/CDCAbortionSurveillance (Abortion

Surveillance 2016) (third paragraph under “Abortion

Mortality”), will inevitably be lower than the pregnancy

mortality rate, regardless of actual relative lethality,

except where the denominator for the abortion statistic

– the number of procedures – is so low as to

counterbalance the inherent slanting of the comparison.

That is, only where the number of abortions is relatively

small, as with later-term procedures, will the abortion

mortality rate figure have a chance of exceeding the

pregnancy mortality rate figure.

Second, pregnancy mortality is measured per

childbirth, not per pregnancy,14 and thus

pregnancy mortality is further artificially

inflated. That is, the relevant maternal population

arbitrarily excludes those who experience miscarriages

and stillbirths, except that if such women die, their

deaths are nevertheless included in the maternal

mortality totals. Thus, the relevant baseline population

is reduced by excluding cases of pregnancy losses (no

live birth), yet the total number of deaths still includes

14

“The pregnancy-related mortality ratio is an estimate of the

number of pregnancy-related deaths for every 100,000 live births.”

CDC, “Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System,” https://tiny

url.com/CDCPregMortality.

16

those maternal deaths resulting from these very same

excluded – uncounted – pregnancies.

For example, even though many women survive

ectopic pregnancies, the supposed pregnancy mortality

rate for the subset of all ectopic pregnancies will be

infinitely high. There will be some maternal deaths in

the numerator but no live births in the denominator,

yielding an infinitely large fraction. Obviously, this is a

completely misleading, useless, statistic. But this same

error will in turn infect and distort the overall

pregnancy mortality rate by adding to the numerator

(deaths) while not adding to the baseline denominator

(live births). This is no trivial distortion: historically,

ectopic pregnancies have been the leading cause of

deaths in the first trimester. See “Current Trends

Ectopic Pregnancy – United States,” 1990-92, CDC

Morbidity & Mortality Wkly. Rep.: Surveillance

Summaries, Jan. 27, 1995, at 46, www.cdc.gov/mmwr/

preview/mmwrhtml/00035709.htm.

The same distortion flows from the inclusion of

deaths from early miscarriages, while excluding the

number of associated pregnancies from the baseline. As

with ectopic pregnancies – or any other pregnancy

mishap that produces no live birth (including, ironically,

abortions) – this combination of statistical parameters

misleadingly inflates the reported percentage risk of

childbirth (in mathematical terms, the numerator

[maternal deaths] is maximized, while the denominator

[not all pregnancies, only live births] of the risk fraction

is arbitrarily reduced). Hence, the pregnancy mortality

figure, contrary to its title, does not accurately depict

17

the mortality risk of pregnancy. Instead, the statistic

overstates the risk.15

Third, the overall pregnancy mortality figures

do not account for the stage of gestation. A high

percentage of maternal deaths are associated with

miscarriages early in pregnancy; but obviously, for

example, a woman entering her second trimester faces

zero risk of a first-trimester death from ectopic

pregnancy, yet the undifferentiated pregnancy mortality

rate incorporates those first-trimester deaths. For a

woman who is beyond any given stage of pregnancy and

considering the relative risks of continued pregnancy

versus abortion, it makes no sense to compare abortion

mortality with pregnancy mortality throughout

pregnancy; the figures would have to be adjusted to

subtract out deaths occurring at stages of pregnancy

that have already passed.16 Yet pregnancy mortality

statistics do not make this adjustment and thus are not

properly comparable to abortion mortality statistics.

Fourth, abortion deaths are underreported.

One simply cannot make a fair assessment of abortion

deaths without knowing how many have occurred. Yet

one published study found that, in Finland, an

15

The CDC may well have practical reasons for selecting the

parameters it does. See Appendix A at 7a-8a. But the impact these

parameters have on the results – and on any attempted

comparison with abortion mortality data – must be taken into

account.

16

For example, ectopic pregnancy usually manifests itself

“between 6 and 10 weeks’ gestation,” Vanitha N. Sivalingam et

al., “Diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy,” 37 J. Fam.

Plann. Reprod. Health Care 231, 232 (2011).

18

astounding 94% of abortion-associated deaths were not

identified from death certificates or cause-of-death

registries alone. Mika Gissler, et al., “Methods for

identifying pregnancy-related deaths: population-based

data from Finland 1987-2000,” 18 Paediatric &

Perinatal Epidemiology 448, 451 & tbl. 2 (2004).

Aggravating the problem of unidentified abortion deaths

in this country is the fact that “the collection and

reporting of abortion data are not federally mandated,”

“Abortion Surveillance 2016,” supra p. 15 (“Description

of the Surveillance System”). See also David C. Reardon,

et al., “Deaths Associated with Abortion Compared with

Childbirth – A Review of New and Old Data and the

Medical and Legal Implications,” 20 J. Contemp. Health

Law & Pol’y 279, 286-91 (2004) (hereinafter Reardon,

reporting of abortion deaths); David C. Reardon, “The

reported); “The CDC’s Abortion Death Numbers, and

Abortion Deaths,” ClinicQuotes (Aug. 29, 2012),

https://clinicquotes.com/the-cdc-report-and-abortiondeaths/ (documenting specific instance of well-publicized

abortion death that CDC failed to report).

19

Fifth, abortion mortality statistics likely will

not include many delayed deaths that result from

abortion,17 deaths such as those reflected in the

increased rates of suicide or other longer-term fatal

post-abortion health consequences, even though studies

show a greater risk of death from these and other causes

after abortion (as opposed to childbirth). Infra § III. A

fair comparison of abortion with continued childbearing, like a fair comparison of smoking with

nonsmoking, would have to take into account not just

immediate consequences, but also all other statistically

significant increased death risks.

E. Response to contrary statements in

Whole Woman’s Health

In light of the foregoing, the contrary statement in

this Court’s majority in Whole Woman’s Health is easily

addressed. In WWH, this Court referred to material in

the record asserting that “[n]ationwide, childbirth is 14

times more likely than abortion to result in death,” 136

S. Ct. at 2315 (citing that case’s JA 272). But the cited

record reference was to the testimony of Elizabeth

17

The CDC defines an abortion-related death as including “a

death resulting from a direct complication of an abortion (legal or

illegal), an indirect complication caused by a chain of events

initiated by an abortion, or an aggravation of a preexisting

condition by the physiologic or psychologic effects of abortion,”

Abortion Surveillance 2016, supra p. 15 (first paragraph under

heading Abortion Mortality), plus any “pregnancy-related death

in which the pregnancy outcome was induced abortion,” Pazol,

supra note 12, at 4.

20

Raymond, who in turn simply cited her own Raymond &

Grimes study discussed and refuted supra § II(D)..

***

As demonstrated, the seemingly straightforward

comparison of the CDC’s pregnancy mortality and

abortion mortality rates is in fact fundamentally

misguided and rife with flaws. As the CDC itself has

admitted, the statistics for pregnancy mortality and

abortion mortality are “conceptually different” and

“used by CDC for different public health purposes,”

Letter of Julie Gerberding, Director, Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention to Walter Weber, Senior Litig.

Counsel, Am. Ctr for L. &b Just. (July 20, 2004), see

Appendix A (reproducing correspondence). See also John

M. Thorp, Jr., “Public Health Impact of Legal

Termination of Pregnancy in the US: 40 Years Later,”

2012 Scientifica 1, 4 (“Differences in ascertainment of

deaths, duration of susceptibility to mortality, lack of

accounting for gestational age, and choice of appropriate

comparison group make these comparisons a fool’s

errand”). For purposes of comparison they are apples

and oranges.

There is strong evidence that abortion is positively

detrimental to maternal health and, if anything, more

likely to lead to death or other adverse consequences

than is continuing the pregnancy. See infra § III. Access

to abortion is no favor to women’s health.

21

III. PUBLISHED LITERATURE INDICATES

THAT, IF ANYTHING, ABORTION IS MORE

DANGEROUS THAN CONTINUED

PREGNANCY.

Peer reviewed medical research strongly indicates

that abortion, rather than being safer than childbirth,

is in fact more dangerous.

In Finland, for example, researchers drew upon

national health care data to examine the pregnancy

history of all women of childbearing age who died, for

any reason, within one year of childbirth, abortion, or

miscarriage, between 1987 and 1994 (a total of nearly

10,000 women). The study found that, adjusting for age,

women who had abortions were 3.5 times more likely to

die within a year than women who carried to term. Mika

Gissler, et al., “Pregnancy-associated deaths in Finland

1987-1994 – definition problems and benefits of record

linkage,” 76 Acta Obstetrica et Gynecologica

Scandinavica 651 (1997). See also E. Karalis, et al.,

“Decreasing mortality during pregnancy and for a year

after while mortality after termination of pregnancy

remains high: a population-based register study of

pregnancy-associated deaths in Finland 2001-2012,” 124

BJOG 1115 (2017); id. at 1117 (“In all age groups under

40, mortality rates were highest after termination of

pregnancy”); id. at 1119 (“Combining all causes of

deaths, the mortality rate after termination of

pregnancy is . . . alarming”).

A study based upon Medicaid records in California

likewise found significantly higher mortality rates after

abortion. The study linked abortion and childbirth

22

records in 1989 with death certificates for the years

1989-97. This study found that, adjusting for age,

women who had an abortion were 62% more likely to die

from any cause than women who gave birth. David C.

Reardon, et al., “Deaths associated with pregnancy

outcome: A record linkage study of low income women,”

95 So. Med. J. 834 (2002).

Yet another study, this one of nearly a half million

Danish women, found that the risk of death after

abortion was significantly higher than the risk of death

after childbirth. David C. Reardon & Priscilla K.

Coleman, “Short and long term mortality rates

associated with first pregnancy outcome: Population

register based study for Denmark 1980-2004,” 18 Med.

Sci. Mon. 71 (2012). The study specifically examined

both early (before 12 weeks gestation) and late (after 12

weeks gestation) abortions, and found statistically

significantly higher death rates for both groups as

compared to mortality after childbirth. Another study of

the entire population of Denmark found a dose effect –

that is, each additional abortion increased the risk of

premature death of the woman: “Increased risks of

death were 45%, 114% and 191% for 1, 2 and 3

abortions, respectively, compared with no abortions

after controlling for other reproductive outcomes and

last pregnancy age” Priscilla K. Coleman et al.,

“Reproductive history patterns and long-term mortality

rates: a Danish, population-based record linkage study,”

23 Eur. J. Pub. Health 569, 569 (2012).

In fact, a systematic literature review has shown

that every record linkage study examining mortality

rates after abortion and childbirth has found an

23

elevated risk of death associated with abortion. David C.

Reardon & John M. Thorp, “Pregnancy associated death

in record linkage studies relative to delivery,

termination of pregnancy, and natural losses: A

systematic review with a narrative synthesis and

meta-analysis,” SAGE Open Med. (Nov 13, 2017),

https://tinyurl.com/RecordLinkage Review. At least part

of this increased risk of death is due to psychological

effects, such as suicide. The Finland and California

studies both showed, inter alia, a heightened risk of

suicide after abortion.18 (The Danish study did not

examine this aspect.) A British study found the same

thing. Christopher L. Morgan, et al., “Mental health

may deteriorate as a direct effect of induced abortion,”

314 British Med. J. 902 (Mar. 22, 1997) (letters section)

(suicide attempts more than four times as frequent after

abortion than after childbirth). So did an Italian study.

Ilaria Lega et al., “Maternal suicide in Italy,” 23 Arch.

Womens Ment. Health 199 (Apr. 2020) (suicide ratio

after abortion more than twice that as after childbirth).

All these studies are consistent with the many studies

documenting adverse emotional consequences after

abortion. See David C. Reardon, “Abortion Decisions and

the Duty to Screen: Clinical, Ethical and Legal

Implications of Predictive Risk Factors of Post-Abortion

Maladjustment,” 20 J. Contemp. Health L. & Pol’y 33,

39 n.14 (2003) (citing nearly three dozen sources).

18

See also Mika Gissler, et al., “Suicides after pregnancy in

Finland: 1987-94: register linkage study,” 313 British Med. J.

1431 (1996) (suicide rate after induced abortion was six times

higher than suicide rate after childbirth).

24

A related consequence of abortion is the elevated

risk of substance abuse. See, e.g., David C. Reardon &

Phillip G. Ney, “Abortion and Subsequent Substance

Abuse,” 26 Am. J. Drug & Alcohol Abuse 61 (2000);

David C. Reardon, et al., “Substance use associated with

unintended pregnancy outcomes in the National

Longitudinal Survey of Youth,” 30 Am. J. Drug &

Alcohol Abuse 369 (2004); Priscilla K. Coleman, et al.,

“Substance use among pregnant women in the context

of previous reproductive loss and desire for current

pregnancy,” 10 British J. Health Psychol. 255 (2005).

Other psychological effects associated with abortion

may also contribute to a decline in health. Notably,

there is a clear scientific consensus that abortion

contributes to mental health problems in some women.

The only controversy is when, if ever, abortion is the

sole cause of specific mental illnesses in specific groups

of women at higher risk. David C. Reardon, “The

abortion and mental health controversy: A

comprehensive literature review of common ground

agreements, disagreements, actionable recommendations, and research opportunities,” SAGE Open Med.

(Oct 29 2018), https://tinyurl.com/RevAbMentalHlth.

Of course, abortion can also cause physical harm,

either from the procedure itself (e.g., perforation of the

uterus, laceration of the cervix), from deprivation of the

health benefits of continuing pregnancy (e.g.,

eliminating the protective effect of a full-term

pregnancy against breast cancer),19 or by masking other

Movement Can Learn from Big Tobacco,” 54 Cath. U.L. Rev. 1273,

25

dangerous symptoms (e.g., a woman with an infection or

an ectopic pregnancy may believe her symptoms are

merely normal after-effects of abortion, leading her to

delay seeking medical help).20 See generally “Physical

effects of abortion: Fact sheets, news, articles, links to

published studies and more,” The UnChoice,

www.theunchoice.com/physical.htm (listing sequelae

and referencing sources); Reardon, “Deaths Associated

with Abortion,” supra p. 18, at 311-17 (same).

***

Just as “time has overtaken some of Roe’s factual

assumptions,” Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. at

860, so evidence has overtaken the assumptions and

assertions of Roe, and of abortion apologists, about the

safety of abortion. There is now ample reason to believe

that abortion is detrimental to maternal health and, if

anything, more likely to lead to death or other adverse

consequences for the pregnant woman than is

continuing the pregnancy.

Abortion is a procedure fraught with hazards. The

notion that abortion is safer than childbirth rests on

inapposite comparisons and incomplete data, flies in the

face of far more rigorous peer-reviewed studies, and

Secretary

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Re: Abortion statistics and maternal health

Dear Secretary Thompson:

In the challenges to the federal partial birth

abortion statute, as on many other occasions, the

proponents of legalized abortion make the claim that

abortion is safer for women than childbirth. There is

very good reason to believe that this claim is false.

However, a fair scientific examination of this claim is

hindered by the way the Centers for Disease Control

(CDC) maintains its relative maternal mortality

statistics.

2a

I am writing to urge your office to direct a

reassessment of the pertinent statistical measures. In

short, the HHS should see to it that the American

public -- and in particular, women contemplating the

choice between abortion and continuing pregnancy -have a genuine basis for an honest and meaningful

comparison of the relative risks. If, in the alternative,

the CDC is unable to provide a basis for a true

comparison, it should so state.

The CDC has in the past reported maternal

mortality as the “[n]umber of maternal deaths per

100,000 live births.” See, e.g., www.cdc.gov/epo/mm

wr/preview/mmwrhtml/00054602.htm (Fig. 1, footnote

*) (Maternal Mortality -- United States, 1982-1996).

Abortion mortality, by contrast, is reported as the

number of “[l]egal induced abortion-related deaths per

100,000 reported legal induced abortions.” See, e.g.,

www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5212

a1.htm (Table 19, footnote *) (Abortion Surveillance -United States, 2000).

Here are some of the concerns with these statistics:

1.

Denominator too small for maternal mortality

rate

Maternal mortality should reflect deaths per

pregnancy, not deaths per live birth. Stillbirths and

3a

miscarriages are fairly common occurrences.1 To count

maternal deaths associated with miscarriages, for

example, while not counting the pregnancies,

improperly inflates the maternal mortality rate.2

2.

No maternal mortality rate adjustment for

gestational stage

The relative risk of aborting versus continuing a

pregnancy should reflect the prospective risks only,

and not risks associated with stages of pregnancy

already passed. For example, ectopic pregnancies cause

a significant percentage of maternal deaths, and

indeed are the leading cause of deaths in

the first trimester. See, e.g., www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pre

view/mmwrhtml/00035709.htm (Current Trends:

Ectopic Pregnancy -- United States, 1990-92).

Obviously, a woman entering her second trimester

faces zero risk of a first-trimester death from ectopic

pregnancy, yet the undifferentiated CDC maternal

mortality rate incorporates those first-trimester

deaths. An abortion cannot eliminate risks that have

already passed; only prospective risks should enter

into the comparison.

1

See, e.g., www.cdc.gov/nchs/releases/00facts/trends.htm (“6

million-plus pregnancies in 1996 in the U.S. resulted in 3.9

million births, 1.3 million induced abortions and almost a million

fetal deaths,” i.e., “16 percent [ended] in a miscarriage or

stillbirth”).

2

Of course, live births should be counted only once for each labor,

regardless of whether the woman bears at one time a single child,

twins, triplets, or a greater number.

4a

3.

Underreporting of abortion-related deaths

A true statistical comparison of the risks of death

from abortion versus continued pregnancy is

impossible if the statistics are inaccurate. Thus, the

apparently common failure to report abortion-related

deaths see www.afterabortion.org/PAR/V8/n2/abortion

deaths.html (“The Cover-Up: Why U.S. Abortion

Mortality Statistics Are Meaningless”), underestimates

the abortion mortality rate. The same problem would

apply to any underreporting of other maternal deaths.

(And, of course, abortion-related deaths must be

excluded from the maternal mortality rate if any

comparison is to be made. Counting abortion deaths as

maternal deaths as well -- or instead -- stacks the deck

against childbearing and in favor of abortion.)

4.

Disregard of non-immediate deaths

Recent studies indicate that abortion is associated

with an increased rate of short-term and long-term

maternal death. See www.afterabortion.org/physica.

html (“A list of Major Physical Sequelae Related to

Abortion”). A fair comparison of abortion with

continued childbearing, like a fair comparison of

smoking with nonsmoking, would take into account all

such statistically significant increased death risks.

*

*

*

Women choose or decline abortions for many

different reasons, and the decision for many may

5a

represent a complex balance of multiple

considerations. It is a grave disservice to withhold from

women the information needed for a genuine

comparison between abortion mortality and the risk of

mortality from continuing the pregnancy. Such

information may be decisive for many women.

Moreover, abortion businesses, which have profit

motives for women to choose abortion, cannot be relied

upon to present the full picture. Indeed, such

businesses may be using statistics -- despite the flaws

described above -- to help sell abortion to trusting lay

women. Cf. www.abortion.com/questions.html

(claiming that “statistically, childbirth is far more

dangerous than abortion”).

I strongly urge you to direct the CDC to make all

necessary adjustments to its preparation and

presentation of statistical data to allow for an honest,

unbiased comparison of the relative risks of abortion

and continuing pregnancy.

Very truly yours,

/s/

Mr. Walter M. Weber

Senior Litigation Counsel

American Center for Law & Justice

201 Maryland Avenue, N.E.

Washington, D.C. 20002

Dear Mr. Weber:

We appreciate your interest in the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention’s (CDC) efforts to collect and

publish maternal mortality statistics (including those

related to abortion). CDC makes every effort to identify

all such deaths and to present maternal mortality

statistics using established scientific methods.

The maternal mortality rate is computed as all

maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. In contrast,

the measure used for abortions is a case-fatality rate

which is computed per 100,000 legal abortions. These

measures are conceptually different and are used by

CDC for different public health purposes.

7a

CDC calculates the maternal mortality rate per

100,000 live births for the following reasons:

1.

2.

3.

To maintain comparability in long term

trends for the United States. Estimates of the

number of pregnancies (including live births,

miscarriages or stillbirths, and induced

abortions) in the United States have been

published only since the 1970s.

The live birth component of the pregnancy

estimates is highly reliable. Virtually all

births are counted in every year. Estimates of

all abortions are based on CDC’s abortion

surveillance system, which relies on state

abortion reporting systems. Estimates of

stillbirths, ectopic pregnancies, and

miscarriages are based on survey data and

are subject to significant sampling error,

particularly for smaller population subgroups.

Estimates of stillbirths and miscarriages are

based on pregnancy history data from the

National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG).

The NSFG is conducted periodically, every 5

to 7 years. The data are subject to sampling

error, particularly for smaller population

subgroups. For information on the estimation

methodology, see www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/

series/sr_21/sr21 _056.pdf.

To maintain international comparability.

Many other countries cannot adequately

estimate the number of pregnancies,

8a

especially those in which abortion is illegal.

Information on miscarriage and stillbirth also

varies considerably in completeness. In the

interest of international comparability, the

World Health Organization has specified that

the number of live births should be used for

the denominator of the maternal mortality

rate.

Adjusting the maternal mortality rate for gestational

stage is not statistically feasible, because this requires

data that are not currently completely available. The

Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System (PMSS)

relies primarily on death certificates which do not

typically provide this information. Gestational age may

be available for some maternal deaths in cases where

linkage with other records (e.g., birth certificates, fetal

death reports) is possible. Information on gestational

age for induced abortions is available in about 42

states or jurisdictions.

CDC recognizes that despite efforts to count all

maternal deaths (including those abortion-related) in

the United States, some remain uncounted. The death

itself is reported but accurate information on the cause

may not be provided. CDC estimates that maternal

deaths in general are underreported by 30 to 150

percent (see www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/

ss5202e1.htm). The nature of the surveillance systems

make it difficult to obtain complete data. The PMSS

compiles data from 50 states, the District of Columbia,

and New York City. Abortion surveillance involves

9a

data from 47 states, District of Columbia, and New

York City. These systems are voluntary (CDC does not

provide remuneration for data) and rely primarily on

death certificate data which may or may not provide

information that indicates the death was maternal or

abortion-related. In the case of deaths associated with

induced abortion, CDC also uses searches of

computerized print media databases (Lexis-Nexis) to

identify additional cases.

At CDC we are very committed to improving data

collection systems and providing the most accurate and

reliable data on all aspects of maternal and infant

health. I hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

/s/

Julie Louise Gerberding, M.D., M.P.H.
