"Blood-spattered floors. Cat feces. Broken equipment. A 15-year-old giving anesthesia. Two women dead, countless more maimed and injured.

This is what illegal abortion looks like...Only women who felt they had no better alternative would have accepted such dangerous, degrading and frightening treatment."
