It greatly depends on the kinds of unsafe abortion procedures used. I mean, some unsafe abortion procedures used around the world in developing countries include drinking bleach or putting excessive pressure on the abdominal area, which can rupture certain organs inside. Going septic, hemorrhaging, and perforation of the uterus are the kinds of complications that can arise. Some of them lead to death. Some of them lead to infection that can be long term. Some lead to long-term disabilities, such as infertility, for instance.
Does that sort of give you a better sense of the complications that might arise?
The number I found in terms of the cost of hospitalizing those five million women each year due to unsafe abortions is about $460 million.
