The author of the article points out that before and after U.S. Supreme Court case "Roe v. Wade," abortion was dangerous where it was restricted, and relatively safe where it was not. She discusses an article published in "The Lancet" titled "Induced Abortion: Estimated Rates and Trends Worldwide," released by the World Health Organization and the Guttmacher Institute. It states that the number of abortions around the world is constant whether it is legal or not and is inversely affected by availability of contraception.
