Morbidity and mortality associated with legal abortion

Abstract
PIP: A personal letter presents some data on the death-to-case rate for legal abortions in the U.S. for 1972-1974, to show a study of sufficient scope to account for the normal wide range of variations encountered when attempting to measure mortality risks. The data are taken from that published by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, which is considered to encompass sufficient data. The relative safety of abortion is considered to be emphasized by the very low indications of statistical studies.
