Are you under the impression that women don't die from lack of access to abortion?
"Every year, worldwide, about 42 million women with unintended pregnancies choose abortion, and nearly half of these procedures, 20 million, are unsafe. Some 68,000 women die of unsafe abortion annually, making it one of the leading causes of maternal mortality (13%). Of the women who survive unsafe abortion, 5 million will suffer long-term health complications. Unsafe abortion is thus a pressing issue. Both of the primary methods for preventing unsafe abortion—less restrictive abortion laws and greater contraceptive use—face social, religious, and political obstacles, particularly in developing nations, where most unsafe abortions (97%) occur. Even where these obstacles are overcome, women and health care providers need to be educated about contraception and the availability of legal and safe abortion, and women need better access to safe abortion and postabortion services. Otherwise, desperate women, facing the financial burdens and social stigma of unintended pregnancy and believing they have no other option, will continue to risk their lives by undergoing unsafe abortions."
Unsafe Abortion: Unnecessary Maternal Mortality
"Lack of access to safe, affordable, timely and respectful abortion care, and the stigma associated with abortion, pose risks to women’s physical and mental well-being throughout the life-course.
Inaccessibility of quality abortion care risks violating a range of human rights of women and girls, including the right to life; the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; the right to benefit from scientific progress and its realization; the right to decide freely and responsibly on the number, spacing and timing of children; and the right to be free from torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment.
Each year, 4.7–13.2% of maternal deaths can be attributed to unsafe abortion
(3). In developed regions, it is estimated that 30 women die for every 100 000 unsafe abortions. In developing regions, that number rises to 220 deaths per 100 000 unsafe abortions
(2). Estimates from 2012 indicate that in developing countries alone, 7 million women per year were treated in hospital facilities for complications of unsafe abortion
(4)."

Are you unaware of the already abysmally high maternal mortality rate in the US?
"Among 11 developed countries, the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate, a relative undersupply of maternity care providers, and is the only country not to guarantee access to provider home visits or paid parental leave in the postpartum period, a recent
report from The Commonwealth Fund concluded. ...
Maternal deaths have been increasing in the United States since 2000, and although 700 pregnancy-related deaths
occur each year, two-thirds of these deaths are considered to be preventable."
US Ranks Worst in Maternal Care, Mortality Compared With 10 Other Developed Nations
"
Women in the U.S. are the most likely to die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth.
In 2018, there were 17 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births in the U.S. — a ratio more than double that of most other high-income countries (Exhibit 1). In contrast, the maternal mortality ratio was three per 100,000 or fewer in in the Netherlands, Norway, and New Zealand."
Maternal Mortality and Maternity Care in the United States Compared to 10 Other Developed Countries
How about the equally abysmally high infant mortality rate?
"And with respect to infant mortality, the U.S. ranks 33 out of 36 Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations. In 2018, while infant mortality reached an
all-time low in the U.S., at 5.9 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, still more than
21,000 infants died. Compared to countries with a similar GDP, the U.S. infant mortality rate is much higher. France and the U.K., for example, have 3.8 deaths per 1,000 live births. ...
Among the leading causes of infant deaths are maternal pregnancy complications, premature birth, and low birth weight. Lower birth weight or a lower gestational age at birth predispose infants to worse outcomes. But, compared to other countries, U.S. babies of similar birth weight and gestational age also fared relatively poorly, with a higher neonatal mortality rate (deaths within the first month of life) and a higher post-neonatal mortality rate (deaths in months one through twelve)."
U.S. Maternal And Infant Mortality: More Signs Of Public Health Neglect
This sounds to me like a country that cares more about blastocysts/embryos/zygotes/fetuses than about actual living and breathing human beings. Overturning Roe v. Wade is only going to make this much, much worse, if actual data and history tell us anything.
