Nearly 70,000 women will die from unsafe abortion in 2007, and complications from unsafe abortion will hospitalize five million more. This two-page Congressional briefing discusses the global problem of unsafe abortion as well as how the Global Gag Rule (GGR) encourages this practice. This briefing also offers policy suggestions for the United States to prevent unsafe abortion worldwide.
