An abortion clinic isn't the proper source for information on surgical risk
The Guttmacher Institute is not "an abortion clinic." It's a research and policy institute - sort of like a think tank on reproductive health. However, if you don't like my source on abortion safety statistics I strongly suggest you find and share whatever source
you're using. I've yet to see you back anything up with evidence, unless a certificate in urological surgery makes you an instant expert on abortion safety.
Please, lets see the stats comparing the risk of adult circumcision in the US vs. the risk of early abortion, and please contrast that with the risk of actual childbirth.
I brought up infant circ only because it is medically riskier than adult circ, yet there are no laws requiring hospital standards for that procedure. By the same token, I bring up the legality of home birth when overall US maternal mortality rates ten times higher than the abortion mortality rate. If Virginia lawmakers want to save womens lives, they're going about it all wrong. (ETA, yes I'm aware of the relative safety of home birth and don't think it should be illegal.)
My point is, there is no need to make early term abortion "safer" when the safety margin is already excellent, while ignoring the much worse safety levels of other procedures.
ETA, I don't disagree with your assertion that this may be in part a money grab by the hospital lobby. Even so, it still pushes abortion further away from reach. According to the (
not an abortion clinic) Guttmacher Institute, 60% of patients who had abortions after 15 weeks stated that they wanted to have them sooner but money and logistics delayed the process. (See my previous link exact quote.)
