Now, THIS is an unexpected development. If this proves to be accurate data, it could have a major effect in some minds.

Women who get abortions because a baby is inconvenient should be sterilised at the same time. Those who dont want any more kids because they already have too many shouldnt mind and the others dont deserve to have any more after they already killed one.

Women who have abortions because the baby is malformed or has serious problems. or for the health of the mother get a pass.

let's see abortion can cause an increase in breast cancer, now it appears it causes the ''wanted'' child to prematurely deliver. It seems also to be the cause of post abortion depression and I think there was also a study that showed increase of risky behaviors such as drugs and increased heavy drinking by post abortion women.
I am so glad that NARAL and the other death mongers are so concerned with ''women's health.'' If they become more concerned it would the death of us all.

Interesting indeed, but not yet convincing. Might it be that women who have had an abortion are perhaps more likely to have engaged in sex at a younger age, engaged in risky behaviors, et cetera? Perhaps the situation here is that there is another factor that expresses itself in both abortions and in things that lead to the other issues expressed.

Correlation is not causation, folks. Careful how you read this.

This is the reason the Right To Life people are outbreeding the abortion crowd. They are not only killing off all their "first born", they are killing the "second born" as well.

After a while the statistics catch up.

True enough, correlation is not causation, but we might look elsewhere for evidence that the effect is real. The fact that the Democrats are disappearing while unwed births are increasing in frequency is such evidence.

I'm not sure about the data. However, I know for certain of a few young women who each had an abortion and later tried to have a baby only to have the babies very early and they were unable to survive.

Abortion is murder and will open a person up to evil. Murder, depression, alcoholism and drug abuse are in the same family of evil.

This is not really new news. It's been known for a long time that a woman's cervix is weakened by the abortion process.

What's new is that this long-known fact is now making headlines. I don't know what's behind this study's getting publicity. Could be that the medical establishment is feeling pangs of guilt over having suppressed the truth about abortion? Naaahhhhh.

But I'm not complaining. The more women know, the better.

Abortionists NEVER give follow proper informed consent procedures or meet the Standard of Care in mandatory risk-benefit patient education.

Planned Parenthood would be closed down in a heartbeat, if they were held to the standards every other outpatient surgi-center in the USA follows.

Physical Risks include:

Hemorrhage: Sometimes women will bleed heavily during an abortion or a few days afterwards. Occasionally it is necessary to give a transfusion to replace the lost blood. Sometimes it is necessary to do a second curettage procedure or hysterectomy to stop the bleeding.

Infection: A uterus is susceptible to infection right after an abortion. Infections are even more of a risk if you have Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. Symptoms are pain and fever. This is generally treated with antibiotics but sometimes another curettage procedure must be used. If untreated, a very serious infection can develop and could result in infertility.

Perforation: Sometimes the tools of abortion are accidentally pushed through the wall of the uterus during an abortion. If the instrument damages one of your internal organs, it may be necessary to do major surgery to repair the damage.

Effects on Later Pregnancy: Severe injury to the cervix may occur and may result in the early loss of a later wanted pregnancy. The risk of miscarriage in later pregnancies is higher if a woman has had two or more abortions.

Continued Pregnancy: The fetus may be growing in your fallopian tube rather than in your uterus. An abortion procedure would miss this and the continued growth of the fetus in your tube is dangerous.

Death: Death has occurred after abortion, though this is rare. When abortion is done after the first three months of pregnancy, the risk of death increases. The cause of death by abortion is usually from heavy bleeding or from complications with anesthesia (the drugs used to help relieve pain).

Emotional Risks Some women experience an immediate feeling of relief following an abortion, but many find themselves later coping with feelings they did not expect. They may have a difficult time talking about these feelings. However, many women who have had abortions experience similar feelings. Some psychologists have labeled these problems as Post Abortion Stress.

The symptoms of Post Abortion Stress span a wide range and can affect men who have lost a child to an abortion as well as women.

Long-term grief reactions: Guilt, Anger, Flashbacks Sexual dysfunction, Memory repression, Anniversary reactions, Suicidal ideas, Hallucinations, Difficulty keeping close relationships, Increased alcohol and drug use.

The results suggest that induced abortion can damage the cervix in some way that makes a premature birth more likely in subsequent pregnancies

The hazards of prematurely dilating a cervix which is unprepared for it have been documented for at least twenty years, by among others Dr. John Wilke of National Right to Life.

Probably why the MSM ignored it until published by the more trustworthy Frenchie-Frenchpersons.

I have personally taken care of post abortion hemorrhage, sepsis and perforation patients.

No different than if they were done with a coat hanger.

Truth be known, there are far more deaths to women from legal abortions than there ever were to the illegal ones.

I think you've got an excellent point, although, I can see where this might correlate with the fact that uterine scaring is far from uncommon after an abortion. By the way, on the web site wwww.americanpregnancy.org, the potential side effects are called "less frequent." See here.
