Mary Zwicker: The World Health Organization, among many others, markets abortion as a “safe, timely, affordable and respectful” procedure, one that ought to remain legal in order to avoid posing “a risk to not only the physical but also the mental and social well-being of women and girls.” Unfortunately, the reality of abortion is far less sterile and safe than pro-abortion activists [...]
