Interesting Typo

I just finished reading a collection of essays entitled "The Cost of 'Choice:' Women Evaluate the Impact of Abortion." As the title implies, the essays are authored by women who "argue that legal abortion has in fact harmed women -- socially, medically, psychologically and culturally." Frankly, I agree with some of what they have to say, since I do believe that women deserve better than abortion, and if women were truly valued and revered as the fabulous individuals they/we are, then something as traumatic and difficult as abortion might not have to exist or might be extremely rare.

HOWEVER...

We do not live in that utopic vision, and the reality of this world is that women need to have a full range of choices associated with reproductive health and control. Legal abortion must be one of those choices.

Anyway, in the essay entitled "Abortion Clinic Regulation" that treats the lack of sufficient medical safeguards for abortion clinics, the author engages in a discussion about the number of women injured or killed due to substandard conditions during abortion procedures. Here's a little blurb with a typo that I found especially... um... interesting:

"The mortality rates for later-term abortions are significantly higher and the risk increases with advancing gestational age. For example, at 11 to 12 weeks gestation, the morality risk is 1 in 100,000, but at 16 to 20 weeks gestation the risk is 7 in 100,000." (emphasis added)

I must admit, I'm curious to know what, exactly, constitutes a morality risk, but I probably wouldn't like to hear the answer!!!
