The Impacts of Abortion Restrictions and Limited Maternal Health Services

Introduction

Access to maternal health services is a fundamental component to achieving health

equity; it is estimated by the United Nations (2022) that 121 million pregnancies each year are

unintended, with 45% of all abortions deemed unsafe, causing 810 women to die each day, due

to preventable causes related to childbirth. Appropriate measures to ensure safe and reliable

maternal health services before and after birth is imperative and should be a fundamental right

for all women. An expansion of resources, such as those provided through the WIC program

(FNS, 2013), increased funding, proper education on contraception, and access to maternal and

prenatal care is needed to ensure safety for all women and create a sense of bodily autonomy

(Carlson & Neuberger, 2021; Disi et al., 2022).
