      A common myth is that banning abortions prevents them. The evidence suggests that nothing could be further from the truthhttps://medium.com/@gidmk/banning-abortions-kills-women-dffd22d21598 …

      There is no good evidence that criminalizing abortions actually stops them from happening. What we DO know is that women who are unable to access safe medical abortions are forced into more dangerous options

      The WHO describes unsafe abortion as a "preventable epidemic", due in large part to the horrifying burden in death and disease unsafe abortions causepic.twitter.com/oHBbHpA0hY

          And even if you think that abortion is ethically unjustifiable, the evidence from the Global Gag Rule's implementation and other abortion bans shows quite convincingly that bans simply do not stop abortions from happeningpic.twitter.com/GvuQzvQZ2u

          Countries - like Brazil - that ban abortion in most or all cases generally do not have lower rates of abortion The one thing that does work? Effective, cheap, easily accessible contraception

          It's a bit of a no-brainer really: if you prevent the unwanted pregnancies in the first place, abortions become less of an issue

          If you want to prevent abortions, improve access to women's health If you want to kill women, just ban legal abortions
