- Care to provide evidence to support this? Here, try this:
- Total morbidity for D&C and Suction abortions: 8.8 complications per
- 1000 abortions, or 0.88%.
- Total mortality for D&C and suction abortions: 4.0 per 100,000
- abortions, or 0.004%.
- Compare that to complication rates as high as 20% from illegal
- abortions.
