Second Abortion Increases Risk of Premature Babies 93%

Published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Canadian researchers found that women who had undergone more than one abortion had a 72 per cent increased risk for low birth weight and 93 per cent risk of prematurity. Far from recommending that women not have abortions, however, the lead author of the study said that the solution is to improve abortion techniques. Shah told media that he was fearful that "anti-abortion groups" would seize upon the study as proof of the damage abortion does to women. "I think it should not be used as a way of saying, this is bad and we should not be doing this kind of thing. There is an association which we should be aware of, and we should let mothers be aware. I don't want unintended pregnancies to increase." LifeSiteNews
