I chose this article because it talks about the study of abortion in Rwanda, and directly relates to last weeks reading by Margret Sanger. It talks about how most abortions are "secret and considered medically unsafe". 17% of maternal deaths in East Africa are due to unsafe abortions, the process or lack of post-op treatment. The main point of the article was to realizing the need to "address the unmet need for modern contraceptive" in order to decrease the number of unplanned pregnancies and deaths from abortions.
