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.

Can You Hear Their Pain?

Research shows that about eight percent of the fathers who lose a child to abortion suffer severe psychological effects. That’s nearly 4 million walking wounded! Millions more suffer to lesser degrees. Most in the pro-life movement understand the importance of helping women who suffer from post-abortion stress. But have you considered the pain felt by the fathers? Do you know what the symptoms are and how to treat them?

Few pro-life leaders possess the knowledge needed to create awareness of the pain felt by post-abortive fathers. Further, they are not equipped to assist men who are suffering. That doesn’t need to be the case any longer.

Life Issues Institute is pleased to make available “Can You Hear Their Pain?” a PowerPoint-type presentation on men and abortion.

We’ve used more sophisticated software to make it extremely user-friendly, and it contains attractive graphics and images. More importantly, it will thoroughly educate your audience as to why men are affected by abortion, what the symptoms are and how best to treat them. The CD-ROM comes complete with both a secular and Christian version. In each case, a full script accompanies the presentation. You don’t have to be an expert to educate others on the effect abortion has on the fathers of unborn babies. There is also information on available resources to help men on the path to hope and healing.

You can help make a difference in the lives of countless men who struggle with a past abortion decision. Many suffer in silence, thinking they’re alone, feeling totally helpless and hopeless.

The first copy is $39.95. Each additional copy is $9.99. Order “Can You Hear Their Pain?” today from Life Issues Institute. Phone 513.729.3600 or order through our website at www.lifeissues.org.
