Abortion Risks



It's curious that the mainstream media hasn't jumped on this story a bit more:


"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."
Of course when other studies show a smaller percent increased health risk (heart disease and trans fatty acids in this example), the press is all over it since it can impact an evil multinational corporation such as McDonalds. In response (partly from fears of litigation), fast food restaurants have changed their menus and preparation methods as well as posted signs around their establishments outlining the risks of doing business there. God forbid if a physician doesn't warn a patient about a procedure that could nearly double the risk of resulting death or disability. Well, maybe exceptions will be made in the case of abortion....
