Abstract
In lieu of an abstract, below is the first paragraph of the paper.
Every hour, approximately eight women around the world die as a result of complications from unsafe induced abortions. Almost half of those who survive are hospitalized due to complications including hemorrhage and sepsis. Roe v. Wade is becoming a faded memory from the past as U.S. states place further restrictions. Abortion is a worldwide issue that needs to be addressed now. Too many women are putting themselves at risk to obtain one of modern medicine's safest procedures. Not only should abortion be legalized on a global-level, but work should also be done to prevent the need of the procedure by increasing awareness and creating more sexual education programs.
