WHO Illegal Abortions Underway in Latin America

By Stefano Gennarini, J.D. | February 25, 2013

Here is an article about abortion hotlines in Latin America that use WHO guidance on DIY abortions. The volunteers that run the hotline are not medical practitioners of course, they are abortion activists. Now they no longer need to rely on information from IPPF and Marie Stopes, now they can rely on WHO info, except that info is probably not the best. 

Consider this statement from the article on the situation in Chile: “anti-abortion laws that force women to rely on underground activists and their telephone hotline to get a safe abortion.” Am I the only one that sees the irony? The only thing safe about those abortions is that if they go wrong there will be good doctors and hospitals to save the women who undergo them in Chile. Chile has on of the lowest mortality rates for mothers and provides excellent maternal health.
