"What we're trying to do here is identify how many women are actually being injured by abortion in Mississippi," said Terry Herring, legislative director for Pro-Life Mississippi. "We find that a hundred women a year are being injured -- we find that this is far too many. Even though abortion is supposed to be 'safe and legal,' it is legal -- but it is not safe."
