Since the states that require complications to be reported usually depend on the abortion facilities to make the reports, it&#8217;s likely most\u00a0of them weren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Although the reference is an older one, the recent Supreme Court decision nullifying common sense health regulations at abortion clinics makes it relevant. Complications due to abortion have been a silent epidemic in our country for decades. With the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to strike down regulations that would have held abortion clinics to basic safety standards, it is likely that doctors like McMillan will see even more botched abortion patients.<\/p>\n<p>Source: &#8220;A Close Look at Planned Parenthood,&#8221; (Focus on the Family) radio program, 27-27 October 1989, quoted in Douglas R.
