Eeeeh, not really. She misquoted/misread the source, but it is still true that women risk death when undergoing pregnancy, and it is still true the risk of severe complications is higher, and it is still true that forcing women, against their will, to risk death or even simply dialysis or incontinence for the rest of their life is fucked up.
Hell, even if no risks whatsoever were involved and pregnancy happened magically with the foetus in an interdimensional pouch she still should have the right to stop providing for it.
The risk of death is negligible for women in the USA. It does take away from the argument since it rested upon the risk of death being something significant which it isn't for women in the USA. Such an argument is better suited for countries with high mortality rates for pregnant women.
Is the risk of death due to cancer negligible in the US?
