| Description | Poor reproductive health remains the leading cause of death and illness for women of reproductive age, particularly in the poorest countries. Complications from unsafe abortion result in approximately 67,000 deaths and at least 5 million serious injuries annually, all of which are preventable. Because sheds light on these issues and seeks to help United States citizens make connections to women around the world. The second issue of Because includes an interview with Gloria Steinem and articles regarding conscience clauses, the shrinking pool of U.S. providers and geographical barriers to safe abortion services.
