Why Flo stands with the World Health Organization on abortion
Being able to access a safe abortion is a crucial part of health care.
Flo stands with the World Health Organization (WHO) in the belief that accessing a safe abortion is a crucial part of health care. Here’s why:
- Unregulated abortions put women’s lives at risk. Approx. 39,000 women around the world die every year due to unsafe abortion — and millions more end up in the hospital as a direct result, according to the WHO.
- Restricting access to abortion does not reduce the number of abortions that take place. In fact, the highest rates of abortion occur in countries with the most legal restrictions. Source: The Lancet.
- Every year there are 42 million abortions. Of those, almost 50% (20 million) are unsafe. Source: Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada.
