According to the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit reproductive health organization, 47,000 women around the world die each year from unsafe abortions and millions more are injured. If family planning and access to contraception are fundamental human rights, as the United Nations declared in 2012, access to abortion services and the ability to decide if and when to have a child should be as well. The important work of organizations like Women on Web facilitates the ability of women to take their health in their hands and determine the course of their own lives.
