No*. One thing we know for sure though is that abortion is 100% fatal for the baby.
___________________________________________________________ *From the CDC:
A total of 4,200 maternal deaths during the surveillance period were pregnancy-related. The pregnancy-related mortality ratio for the entire period was 11.8 deaths per 100,000 live births; the ratio rose from 10.3 to 13.2 per 100,000 between 1991 and 1999, and the increase was statistically significant. Women younger than 30 had below-average pregnancy-related mortality ratios (8.6-9.6 per 100,000), but the ratio was just above average for those in their early 30s and rose dramatically thereafter (to 21.6 for women in their late 30s and 45.4 for those aged 40 and older). The analysts calculated risk ratios, which confirmed that women aged 30-34 had a modestly higher risk of dying from a pregnancy-related cause than women younger than 20 (1.4), and the risk was markedly elevated among women aged 35-39 (2.5) or older (5.3). Whereas white women had a pregnancy-related mortality ratio of 8.1 deaths per 100,000 live births, the ratio for black women was 30.0 per 100,000; the risk ratio (3.7) suggested that black women were almost four times as likely as white women to die from a pregnancy-related cause.
OK, that's good to hear. I'm not a doctor, and the subject of pregnancy doesn't normally enter my everyday life.
The phrase "younger than 20" can mean a lot of things. I suspect the vast majority of women referred to here were between 16 and 19. Has anyone looked at very young girls and pregnancy specifically?
What a hellish thing to have to contemplate.
