For instance, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), ~74 million women in low- and middle-income countries have unintended pregnancies every year, resulting in 25 million unsafe abortions and 47,000 maternal deaths. Unintended pregnancies may lead to malnutrition, illness, abuse, and neglect, as well as death in the worst case, among mothers and newborns. They can further lead to lower educational and employment potential and poverty. Despite advancements in technology, teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher in the US than in other western countries.
