Maternal & Public Health

Aside from the obvious harm to an unborn child’s life, abortion involves serious risks of harm to the physical, mental, and emotional health of women. High quality data on the true extent of these harms is difficult to come by since abortion reporting in the U.S. is entirely voluntary at the national level. The data we do have, however, demonstrates that these harms are very real. Thankfully, pregnancy centers across the country are coming alongside women to help them avoid or address these harms.

Quick Stats

Three states with some of the highest abortion rates in the country (CA, MD, & NJ) do not report any abortion data to the public or the CDC.

See the Paper

Myth VS Fact

MYTH

Pro-life laws are the reason hospitals are closing in pro-life states.

FACT

Hospitals self-reported through press releases that their shutdowns are due to factors like financial problems and declining patient volumes, not abortion policy. Learn More

MYTH

The pro-life movement is only pro-birth. They do not care about the child or mother after the child is born.

FACT

In addition to the work of pregnancy centers which provide for moms and babies well past birth, pro-life federal and state policymakers have enacted legislation to help women and babies after birth. Learn More

MYTH

The public reporting of abortion data by states will lead to the identification of women.

FACT

States that report abortion data aggregate this data in a way that women cannot be identified. Learn More
