Shoot, the ACLU will probably get a federal judge to rule it is criminal to even repeat what is in this report.
I knew this a long time ago and it is said these type of studies are not widely known!
If you mess with the plumbing, odds are it's going to spring a leak eventually.
The way "scientific" data is thrown around these days, this information will just disappear. We're smarter to keep the discussion focused on the moral issue of killing a human being.
I thought this was well-known?
THIS is why millions are being spent on fertility treatments by women still well within child-bearing age. Past catches up with you.
Our MSM will certainly not print this because it's obviously just propaganda from anti-choice forces. The real truth is that abortion is a holy sacrament. That is all the news about it that is fit to print.
Are there no studies on thie relationship of abortion to the high incidence of premature births? Deep concern over the high rate of less than full term births is frequently a subject of anguished press reports, and whenever I see such an article I wonder about the role of abortion. I used to read discussions about the "incompetent cervix" problem, but that seems to have disappeared from the list.
The in-vitro/miscarriage link has been known for some time. However, according to earlier articles I've read on this, it is not clear whether IVF actually somehow *causes* a higher miscarriage rate, or whether it is simply better reported in the case of women going through IVF. Remember, many naturally occurring pregnancies are not planned, and early miscarriages happen fairly often (I've seen one estimate of 25%) without women even realizing that's what has happened. They often just think their period was late and then they had a heavy period.
Is this for real? Never heard of this, I'd like to read a lit review on the subject...

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.
