Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the safety of abortion compared with childbirth.
METHODS:
We estimated mortality rates associated with live births and legal
induced abortions in the United States in 1998-2005. We used data from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Pregnancy Mortality
Surveillance System, birth certificates, and Guttmacher Institute
surveys. In addition, we searched for population-based data comparing
the morbidity of abortion and childbirth.
RESULTS:
The pregnancy-associated mortality rate among women who delivered live
neonates was 8.8 deaths per 100,000 live births. The mortality rate
related to induced abortion was 0.6 deaths per 100,000 abortions. In the
one recent comparative study of pregnancy morbidity in the United
States, pregnancy-related complications were more common with childbirth
than with abortion.
CONCLUSION:
Legal induced abortion is markedly safer than childbirth. The risk of
death associated with childbirth is approximately 14 times higher than
that with abortion. Similarly, the overall morbidity associated with
childbirth exceeds that with abortion.
