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

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

revealed, far more abortion deaths than the CDC
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.

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,

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

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/
