Later Infant Disability
Preterm birth is associated with lower birthweight and higher rates of cerebral palsy, often leading to physical and mental disability.
Future Miscarriages
Decreased cervical resistance due to forced dilation may result in early cervical failure and the spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) of future pregnancies.
Future Prematurity
Premature birth is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality, and at least 10 international studies show previous abortions significantly increases that risk.
Abortion Related Causes of Death
Anesthesia Infection
Hemorrhage Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy Embolism
Physical Damage
Surgical abortion may harm a woman’s reproductive system, damaging her uterus or cervix, leading to future reproductive problems. Chemical abortions (using RU486, etc.) are bloody, painful, and dangerous, and the long term effects on the body are unknown.
