A new study<\/a> appearing in the latest issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology finds<\/a> that abortion comes with a \u201csignificantly higher risk\u201d of premature births in future pregnancies.<\/p>\n

The study, a meta-analysis of 36 international studies and over a million women, finds a 52 percent increase in the risk, as well as heightened possibility of lower gestational and birth weights.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn May 2016 abortion-preemie denial became impossible,\u201d says Brent Rooney of British Columbia\u2019s Reduce Preterm Risk Coalition, noting this was actually the fourth meta-analysis \u201cvalidating higher risk of premature delivery of babies for women with induced abortion history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further, the latest study was not conducted by scientists with an ideological agenda against abortion. The researchers, led by Dr. Gabrielle Saccade, conclude simply that women seeking abortions should be better informed of alternatives (something with which Planned Parenthood, which discourages<\/a> adoption, disagrees).<\/p>\n

Many previous\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0recent years<\/a>\u00a0have also\u00a0found<\/a>\u00a0that abortion\u00a0increases<\/a>\u00a0the odds of future preterm births. For example, a\u00a02013 study<\/a>\u00a0by McGill University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Montreal) found \u201cwomen who had one prior induced abortion were 45 percent more likely to have premature births by 32 weeks, 71 percent more likely to have premature births by 28 weeks, and 117 percent more likely to have premature births by 26 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
