Quotes to Note

Women who have induced abortions have an increased risk of HIV infection of 172%, and researchers are at least 99% confident of this result. "Significantly higher prevalences of infection [HIV-1] were associated with induced abortion (0.49%) than with delivery (0.18%) (OR: 2.72; 95% CI: 2.29-3.22)" [European Journal of Epidemiology, Deliveries, abortion and HIV-1 infection in Rome, 1989-1994, 1997, 13:373-378.] 

A typical 15 year old American girl has a 10% lifetime risk of breast cancer. If she gets pregnant in her teens and has the baby she reduces her risk to 7.5%. However, if she has an abortion, her risk of breast cancer rises to 15% (assuming she has at least one child in her 20's).

If the abortion causes permanent infertility her and/or for other reasons, she never has another pregnancy, her risk rises to 30%. [Brinton LA, Hoover R, Fraumeni IF, Ir. (1983) Brit. J. Cancer. 47:757-62]

 
Abortion Providers' Comments on Congressional Ban of Partial Birth Abortion (Infanticide) PDF Print E-mail

Abortion provider Hern says he performs abortions up to 26 or even 34 weeks of pregnancy.

In a recent column on Slate.com, Hern questions whether the congressional ban on partial-birth abortion might impact his practice.

That ban specifically talks about abortions in which the fetus is still alive outside the womb.

Hern makes sure that will not happen; he gives the fetus an injection to stop its heart as the first step in his process.

Meanwhile, NE abortionist LeRoy Carhart said about 500 abortions that he performs yearly would be outlawed by the late-term measure. [Lincoln Journal Star; 3Nov03; Sandra Fish, 2Nov03 http://www.bouldernews.com/bdc/county_news/article/0,1713,BDC_2423_23963; PLE-news, #284, 4Nov03
