Violence on pregnant women overlooked
David Reardon, PhD, notes, "Many women are coerced, pressured or battered to submit to unwanted abortions by men who are opposed to birth. This may be a clue as to why a history of abortion is an important marker for increased risk of death from violence." And yet Reardon found nothing in the WHO report to reflect what is a growing body of evidence.
