March of Dimes ignores abortion-prematurity link
"We're dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality." from the MOD website
According to www.afterabortion.info
"Latent post-abortion cervical damage may result in subsequent cervical incompetence, premature delivery, and complications of labor."
"Uterine damage may result in complications in later pregnancies "
"Abortion increases the risk of placenta previa in later pregnancies" (many mothers with placenta previa have to deliver their babies prematurely)
"Women who had one, two, or more previous induced abortions are, respectively, 1.89, 2.66, or 2.03 times more likely to have a subsequent pre-term delivery, compared to women who carry to term."
Women seeking abortions should be given accurate information about all the risks (both immediate and in the future) of abortion.
I also believe that the March of Dimes should get off their hypocritical butts and start INFORMING the public about the link between abortion and prematurity.
