The two main reporting agencies for abortion data are the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Planned Parenthood&#8217;s former &#8220;special affiliate&#8221; and former research arm, the Guttmacher Institute. The CDC&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/reproductivehealth\/data_stats\/abortion.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a> of abortion-related deaths are years behind, and they do not report overall complication numbers. Guttmacher, however, reports neither abortion-related deaths nor complications. Instead of reporting any of its own gathered data on abortion safety, the organization refers readers to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/hmd\/Reports\/2018\/the-safety-and-quality-of-abortion-care-in-the-united-states.aspx\">2018 report<\/a> from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine\u00a0(NASEM) committee,\u00a0which touts abortion&#8217;s supposed safety. What Guttmacher and others <em>fail<\/em> to mention is that the report <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/follow-money-people-abortion-safe-financial-reasons\/\">was\u00a0funded by abortion collaborators and organizations<\/a> behind abortion expansion efforts.

She pointed\u00a0out that even with reporting statutes on the books, many states have failed to enforce them.<\/p>\n<p>The data and quotes below from\u00a0Longbons&#8217; research represents\u00a0overall reported complications in various states.
