2/4 Women turned away from getting an abortion are more likely to stay in contact with a violent partner, increasing their risk of murder. They are also more likely to raise the resulting child alone. #IPV #violence #domesticviolence
3/4 The financial wellbeing and development of living #children is negatively impacted when their mothers are denied abortion. Carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term is associated with poorer maternal bonding, such as feeling trapped, resenting the baby.
4/4 Women who were denied an abortion and gave birth had more life-threatening complications like #eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage compared to those who received wanted abortions #abortionishealthcare
