from ICMDA Recordings · host ICMDA
Recorded on 10 February 2022 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a discussion with Dr Donna Harrison. Some claim that elective abortion legalization is necessary for reduction of maternal mortality. Is that claim actually supported by evidence? This episode raises questions about terminology and methodology used to coerce global abortion legalization.
