Women who had never been pregnant had the highest mortality rate.

I don't know why, but I find that hard to believe.

Additionally, the women that have had multiple abortions, may be the type that are not inclined to live a healthy lifestyle.

I believe that studies have shown that women who get pregnant twice and go full term have the highest life expectancy of any women. The study discussed here supports those earlier studies.

“I don’t know why, but I find that hard to believe.”

It’s stated plainly in the study: “Risk of death was more than six times greater among women who had never been pregnant compared with those who only had birth(s).”

http://eurpub.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2012/09/05/eurpub.cks107.abstract

Granted, these are correlations which don’t explicitly identify causation. But, it would appear if these study results are indicative of other time periods, societies, and the human population as a whole, that the most dangerous lifestyle choice a woman can make is to choose to remain childless.

Interestingly enough, if applicable to a wider group, this study would seem to imply that childlessness is a more destructive and morally/emotionally bankrupt lifestyle for women than multiple abortions AND miscarriages. What’s even more interesting, is the healthiest possible lifestyle implied by the study is for women to have multiple children.

That’s not too hard to believe, either. It fits with a reasonable interpretation of natural law. The purpose of any biological organism is, first, to reproduce itself. Go forth, be fruitful and multiply.
