IVF and abortion claim similar number of women's lives a year

IVF and abortion claim similar number of women's lives a year: BMJ - Telegraph: About the same number of women die from IVF every year as they do from abortion, according to the authors of an editorial in the British Medical Journal. While seven women died as a direct result of IVF between 2003 and 2005, two died as a result of having abortions in 2007, note the obstetricians, in an article published in bmj.com. That is despite there being only a quarter the number of IVF cycles as abortions.
