Maximum safety occurs when healthcare decisions are made between providers and patients.

Abortions should be legal, and subject only to the judgment of the mother.

Rarity is only achieved through education and availability of birth control resources.

Just my two cents, which makes no provision for input or control by politicians, religious leaders or insurance companies.
