A new study from an University of Oxford researcher disputes claims that legalizing abortion saves women’s lives.

Abortion activists frequently bring up women dying as a reason to legalize the killing of unborn babies in abortions across the world. They argue that women will die from self-induced and back alley abortions, and link high maternal mortality rates to American states that are working to ban abortions.

But new research on maternal abortion deaths in Ethiopia found that women’s deaths to abortion already had been going down and did not drop significantly after the country legalized abortions in 2005. The study, “Legalisation of abortion and maternal mortality in Ethiopia,” was published this month in the Ethiopian Medical Journal.

“Rather than being a silver bullet to reduce deaths from abortion, abortion legalisation has resulted in a vast increase in the number of abortions, without any appreciable decrease in abortion mortality or maternal mortality,” wrote author Dr. Calum Miller, a British medical doctor and researcher at the University of Oxford. In other words, legalizing abortions did nothing to save lives. Quite the opposite, more unborn babies are being killed, and some women are still dying, too.
