- Ms. Sims fails to mention that Romania also banned contraceptives.
- The authors of this article fail to determine whether Romania's
- problems were actually caused by banning contraceptives. Furthermore,
- the authors fail to note that the experience in the United States with
- anti-abortion laws before Roe v. Wade has been vastly different than
- Romania's, with the CDC reporting 39 deaths from illegal abortion
- during 1972.
