This is a totally invalid use of the cause and effect argument..

The argument should read that victims of child abuse or spousal abuse, alcoholism, etc, are far more likely to get an abortion..
Just as they are more likely to commit abusive acts themselves..

Their entire experience has already been one of cheapening the value of life.
The very act of conception was probably an abusive and repugnant incident and, by extension, so too would the birth be unwanted and resented..
Why stop at abortion ?

The researchers obviously failed to control for personal bias..

The article points out that women who were abused and also had an abortion were more likely to abuse their children than women who were abused and didn't have an abortion.
