One of the arguments of womans rights groups is that by making abortions illegal it will increase the number of illegal "back alley" abortions and cause the death of women who run into complications while having the abortion. Of course the objection of some pro lifers is that banning abortions dosen't have an effect on the number of deaths caused by illegal abortions,"..the number of women who died from abortions prior to the legalization has been drastically exaggerated; furthermore, woman still die each year from complications of legal abortions" argues Clarke D. Forsythe in Contemporary Issues Companion: Womens's Rights. In 2003 the Supreme court ruled to uphold the a ban on certain types of "late term" abortions. The question now looming seems to be along the lines of when should abortion be legal? 1.Forsythe, Clarke D.
