Women Having Abortions Increase Premature Birth Risk 34% for Next Pregnancy

A study in the United Kingdom finds women who have abortions are 34 percent more likely to deliver a subsequent baby prematurely when they become pregnant again, and to suffer from other pregnancy complications.

The team of scientific researchers at the University of Aberdeen examined more than 1 million pregnancies in Scotland over 26 years and found that women who have one abortion increase their risk of premature birth in a subsequent pregnancy by 34 percent.

Women who have a historic risk of giving birth prematurely up that risk another 73 percent [in subsequent pregnancies] when they procur an abortion. [www.lifenews.com, 6 July 2011]

NOTE: A normal pregnancy period is 40 weeks in length.

Babies allowed to go full-term suffer the least risk of danger.

Labor that occurs prematurely, or that is induced early (prior to 39-40 weeks), can lead to many complications for the child -- some life-long -- including lung/breathing problems, cerebral palsy, and related consequences if the baby was not "ready" to be born.

Chemical Methods

For information specifically related to Emergency Contraception (The Morning After Pill), please click here.

"Contraceptives" should actually block or prevent conception (fertilization), according to the term ("against conception"). However, progesterone "contraceptives" are primarily abortifacient (cause early abortions of conceived humans), and low-dose estrogen "contraceptives" allow break-through fertilization a percentage of the time, resulting in an abortifacient effect at times.

"Contraceptives" are therefore more correctly referred to as "Birth Control", because they control the number of births that result from actual pregnancies.

Birth Control refers to many methods which prevent a conceived human being from achieving birth. Many birth control methods will also be highlighted for their effectiveness or ineffectiveness in the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections (STDs/STIs).

Chemical Birth Control methods provide NO protection against any STD, and may change the vaginal lining, making it more susceptible to STD infection. [CDC, 1998].

New studies show a significant relationship between Pill use, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus which results in genital/oral warts), and cervical cancer. HPV is present in 99% of all cervical cancer cases worldwide. Use of The Pill appears to dramatically increase the risk of cervical cancer in the presence of HPV, according to recent studies.

Barrier Methods ( 6 items )
Please Note: Birth Control refers to many methods which block fertilization (union of sperm and egg), often referred to as "contraception", or which prevent a conceived human being from achieving birth, such as the IUD. Many birth control methods will be highlighted for their effectiveness - or ineffectiveness - in the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs/STIs)
Emergency Contraception / Morning-After Pill ( 26 items )
High dose birth control pill regimens (estrogen or progesterone) used shortly after intercourse. Effect: if fertilization has not taken place yet, within the moments from fertilization until the regime is taken, EC may act as a true contraceptive and block fertilization; more likely, there has been no fertilization, and therefore, no effect; or, if fertilization has occurred, the effect may cause an early abortion ["pre-implantation effect"]. Long-term effect on the female body of such high dose hormones is not known.
Natural Family Planning ( 15 items )
More studies are appearing from around the world regarding the estrogen pollution of waterways from chemical birth control, and its adverse effects, at least on various fish populations.

Most people oppose environmental pollution, but seldom think about the chemical pollution they inflict on their own bodies.

It is well documented that long-term exposure to estrogen may have a carcinogenic effect on the human body. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists most estrogens as carcinogenic substances.

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an all-natural, body-friendly method of avoiding - or causing - pregnancy through a 98% effective 3-pronged plan of fertility awareness.

For many women, being aware of the power of their fertility is a very "freeing" sensation, as opposed to the "bondage" of chemical birth control methods that suppress normal body functions.

One in 5 adolsecents currently has an STD.

Over 80% of teens (8 of 10) are infected with at least one STD, but are not aware of the infection(s).

There is currently a 24% Pregnancy Rate for teens using condoms. This means approximately 24 of every 100 teen girls whose sex partners are using condoms will get pregnant.
