\"sadStop me if you\u2019ve heard this one: the abortion lobby is lying about abortion\u2019s medical risk\u2014oh, you have? Of course you have; they do that a lot<\/a>. But since one such lie has been debunked yet again, I\u2019ll go on.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood claims<\/a> that \u201cSafe, uncomplicated abortion does not cause problems for future pregnancies such as [\u2026] miscarriage.\u201d Its information page on miscarriage<\/a> makes no mention of abortion as a risk factor. NARAL calls<\/a> it a \u201clie\u201d to suggest \u201ca link between abortion and future miscarriages,\u201d declaring \u201c first-trimester abortions pose virtually no long-term risks of such problems as [\u2026] miscarriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these claims, Reuters reports<\/a> that researchers from Rabin Medical Center in Petach Tiva and Tel Aviv University studied medical records from 13,000 women and found new evidence of such a link….<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Among the women with a past terminated pregnancy, 53 percent had miscarriages, 33 percent had abortions and another 14 percent didn\u2019t have the type of termination specified in their records.<\/p>\n

About 7 percent of women with a prior abortion or miscarriage had labor induction, compared with about 5 percent of women pregnant for the first time.<\/p>\n

Cesarean deliveries were performed for 25 percent of women with a prior terminated pregnancy, compared with 18 percent of the other women.<\/p>\n

Retained placenta after birth occurred with about 7 percent of women who had a history of miscarriage or abortion, compared with roughly 5 percent of the other women.<\/p>\n

But extensive bleeding, a serious side effect of the placenta failing to emerge after the baby, was rare and happened in roughly 3 percent of the deliveries regardless of the women\u2019s prior pregnancy history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lead researcher Dr. Liran Hiersch concluded that the increased risk was \u201conly mild,\u201d but still something \u201ccrucial\u201d for doctors to inform their patients of\u2014something America\u2019s leading abortion provider clearly isn\u2019t interested in.<\/p>\n

Even so, you may be thinking, \u201cwe\u2019re still talking about a small risk, and nothing comes with no\u00a0risk whatsoever, so what\u2019s the big deal?\u201d The big deal is that this is simply the latest in a series of studies finding the same thing\u2014and at much higher levels:<\/p>\n
