In a recently released report , Amnesty called Nicaragua’s total ban on abortions a “cruel, inhuman disgrace” and charged that the new law has led to an increase in maternal deaths.

Samantha Singson A year and a half after the “Global ‘Safe Abortion’” conference took place in London, abortion advocate Marie Stopes International and Ipas have just released the conference’s report, detailing the abortion movement’s worldwide strategy.
