ABORTION HAS BEEN SOLD AS THE MEDICAL equivilent of having a tooth pulled or a mole removed, but a new French study reveals that it may almost double a woman's chance of giving birth very prematurely later on.
A French study of 2,837 births - the first to investigate the link between terminations and extremely premature births - found that mothers who had previously had an abortion were 1.7 times more likely to give birth to a baby at less than 28 weeks' gestation. Many babies born this early die soon after birth, and a large number who survive suffer serious disability.
It would seem, given these numbers, that abortion is a much more effective method of birth control than previously thought. Here's what a pro-life spokesman had to say about the illuminating findings.
Jack Scarisbrick, the chairman of the campaign group Life, said: ''We have been saying for years that surgical abortion inevitably increases the risk of later problems. It seems that the abortion procedure carries with it risks that women will know nothing about until they become pregnant with a 'wanted' child later on."
Is there any reason to believe that pro-abortion advocates which, in this state at least, have fought even a 24-hour waiting period for those seeking an abortion, will embrace these findings?
Fat chance.
It could eat into what has become a very profitable business venture.
