Florida currently has an influx of skilled Cuban refugee doctors who once made Havana an abortion mecca and are now doing the same for Miami, where some 30 abortion mills last year paid off assorted officials and took in an estimated $20 million.

Among the masses, baby follows baby with such deadly rapidity that Colombian women crouch on the ground to abort themselves with sharp sticks. In Chile, the victims of bungled abortions occupy 20% of the beds in maternity wards, use up 27% of the transfusion blood. The situation became so serious that four years ago, with a high death rate among women who left five to ten orphans behind...
