Berer, Marge. “National Laws and Unsafe Abortion: the Parameters of Change.” Reproductive Health Matters. 12.24 (2004): 1-8.
The author of this article Marge Berer has been the Coordinator of the International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion since mid-2015. She founded and was the editor of the journal Reproductive Health Matters (1992-2015). Berer believes that unsafe abortion and deaths are avoidable. She states that “In countries where laws allow abortion, a lower number of unsafe abortions and deaths had been reported in comparison to countries with laws that restrict abortion” (Berer). This detail shows how safe abortion is a vital service that should be available to all pregnant women. Even if abortion is prohibited in countries and different states, abortions would still be carried out by unlicensed people causing women to suffer. I believe the author’s argument will help me in my paper when talking about the health risks that come with getting unsafe abortions in places where it isn’t legal.
“Safe abortion is an essential health service for women, as essential for sexual and reproductive health as a safe contraception, and safe pregnancy and delivery care.”

- “The data also show that most abortions become safe mainly or only where women’s reasons for abortion, and the legal grounds for abortion coincide.”
