Abortions Vs Childbirth

back to the abortion files      back to pro-choice-issues

Planned Parenthood and all the other killers of unborn babies tell women that abortions are safer than childbirth.  This is far from the truth.  The consequences of killing one’s baby are staggering.  There are many aspects to consider.

Aspect No. 1   Abortions increase the risk of breast cancer

It was known before 1974 that a full-term pregnancy at a young age substantially protects against breast cancer.  If one assumes that an induced abortion of a first pregnancy results in an average delay of  five years of a term birth, this makes induced abortion 100 times more deadly than childbirth.
According to Harvard researchers each one year delay increases relative breast  cancer  risk by 3.5 per cent.

The  following table shows the increase in BC risk vs. number of years of delay in a first full-term birth.

Number of years delay in term birth - 1      3      5      10    15     20 %
   increase in  relative BC risk---------- 3.5  10.8  19.0  41.2  68.0  99.2 

When a first time pregnant teenager has an induced abortion, does she know for sure when she'll have her first term  birth?  No and neither does the abortionist.  Her first term birth could be one year away, or ten, fifteen, or twenty years away.  If the induced abortion procedure has the side-effect of sterilization, she'll enter a high breast cancer risk group -- childless women.

Thus, abortionists MUST warn women about  TOTAL breast cancer risk including the delayed first birth risk -- but they DON'T

There are TWO independent 'ABC' (Abortion-Breast-Cancer)  risks.

1 - Delayed first full term birth, which was just discussed.

2 - Interrupted pregnancy 13 of 14 studies in the United States and 25 of 31 worldwide showed an increase risk for breast cancer in women who have had an induced abortion.

See article below for percentages and details.

The induced abortion is 280 times more deadly than childbirth for women who have a first pregnancy induced abortion. For women who carry the first pregnancy to term but subsequently have an induced abortion, the induced abortion is 'only' 180 times more deadly than childbirth. So when young girls have their unborn baby killed by planned Parenthood, or any other death mill, they are NOT making their lives easier.

The problems are just beginning.  However, since a term birth actually saves the lives of pregnant women (on a NET basis), clearly, elective induced abortion is incalculably more dangerous than a term pregnancy.

Aspect No. 2   Pregnant Moms Much LESS Likely to Die in Car Crashes

What is the number one killer of young people, ages 15-24?  'Car Crashes',  which  should surprise no one.  Are pregnant women much less likely to die in car crashes than non-pregnant women?

Yes, over 80% less likely.  The well regarded medical publication, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, published a study covering five years in the United States, when about 16,200,000 births occurred.

A surprisingly very low 41 pregnant women died in car accidents.  Thus, there was less than one death per 100,000 pregnant women per  year.  This implies that pregnant women are extremely cautious.  The odds of a non-pregnant female dying in a car crash are 14.45 per 100,000 per  year.

How many young (age 15- 24) pregnant women are saved from 'car crash deaths' via being pregnant?:--13.77/100,000 per year.

Aspect No. 3   Drug and Alcohol abuse

A study reported in the March issue of the prestigious American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that women with even one abortion were five times more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. The study was authored by David C. Reardon, Ph.D., director of the Elliot Institute, and Dr. Philip Ney, a B.C. psychiatrist and post-abortion counseling specialist.  According to them, this is the 16th study connecting abortion to drug or alcohol abuse.  Researchers from the statistical analysis unit of Finland's National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health, found that compared to women who carried to term, women who aborted in the year prior to their deaths were 60 percent more likely to die of natural causes, seven times more likely to die of suicide, four times more likely to die of injuries related to accidents, and 14 times more likely to die from homicide.
 

"Even though this important study was published in the top Scandinavian obstetrics journal, it has been completely ignored by the American press," (Reardon said)  "Even worse, abortion counselors continue to lie to American women. They are telling women that abortion is safer than childbirth, when this and other irrefutable studies prove exactly the opposite.  The entire body of medical literature clearly shows that abortion contributes to a decline in women's physical and mental health.  Women aren't hearing this.  Nor are they being told that giving birth actually contributes to women's overall health, not only in comparison to those who abort but also in comparison to women who have not been pregnant."

Reardon believes that abortion providers are collaborating with population control zealots to conceal the risks of abortion in order to advance their own financial and social engineering agendas.  He said:
 

"If they were really pro-choice, they would want women to know about abortion's true risks. Instead, they are offering women a bundle of half-truths and complete fabrications."

Aspect No. 4   Premature Babies

A major complication of abortions are subsequent premature deliveries.  This is a VERY serious matter and is increasing as the years roll by, because of legalized abortions on demand. Not only are most abortions not medically necessary, evidence grows that they are medically destructive to the mother and to subsequent children.  For instance, abortion is almost certainly adding to the growing number of premature babies born each year in hospitals.  Most are low birthweight--under five pounds five ounces--and at greater risk for birth defects, visual and  hearing  impairments, delayed speech, and subject to many other illnesses and therefore, a higher death rate.

In December 1999 the very  respected  medical  publication Obstetrics and Gynecology reported the results of a very  large study of over 61,000 Danish women.

The conclusion follows:

1.- Women with a previous induced abortion have a doubled risk of a very preterm birth (gestation under 34 weeks)

2.- Women with two (2) previous 'evacuation' abortions have over a 1100% increased risk of a  preterm  birth  (compared to women with no previous induced abortions.)

(Obstetrics and Gynecology, Zhou W et al,  1999;94:948)

Dr. Barbara Luke, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan and author of nine books, including “Every Pregnant Woman's Guide to Preventing Premature Birth,” says
 

"Abortion means you're artificially opening the cervix, and anytime you do that women can have risks later on."

One need not be a physician to come to the same conclusion as Dr. Luke.  It is just plain common sense.  Anytime a part of the body is seriously traumatized, it will NOT function in a normal manner.  In abortions, not only is the cervix traumatized severely, but so is the lining of the uterus -- many have been punctured, resulting in death.  Is it any wonder that it is much harder for a woman to maintain a pregnancy, let alone, hold it for 40 weeks.

Aspect No. 4    Physical Complications of Abortions

I’ll just mention the most serious of these -- hemorrhage, infection, ruptured uterus, subsequent ectopic pregnancies and sterility.  There are more deaths, yearly, from abortions after Roe Vs Wade than before.  Remember the battlecry of the pro-aborts -- make abortions legal so women won’t die from a back alley coat hanger job.  More details in article “The Killing of Unborn babies.”
 

Aspect No. 5   Emotional and Mental problems

Problems other than the increase use of alcohol and drugs, include promiscuity, depression, flashbacks, concentration problems, and dramatic personality changes. 90% of women having abortions suffer damage to their self-esteem.  Recent studies show that approximately 20% of women having abortions will suffer full-blown, clinically diagnosable, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and over 50% will have some PTSD symptoms.
 

Aspect No. 5    Child abuse 

Since Roe Vs. Wade, child abuse of other children has skyrocketed, due to guilt feelings. In spite of all of the above, the website of  Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the world, continues to declare: "Today abortion is about  twice as safe as having your tonsils out and is safer than childbirth."

Have they NO shame?  It’s amazing that in a county, where lawsuits are brought at the drop of a hat, how in the world, has Planned Parenthood managed to keep its head above water.  This is one for the ages.  Or, is satan working overtime to make sure that God’s most precious creations are destroyed? The Biblical passage comes to mind, “Man reaps what he sows."
 

Summary

To all women who are thinking about having their child killed -- you will NOT be making your life easier.  In the course of your lifetime, you WILL be the loser and your post abortion children, if you didn’t become sterile from the abortion, may be handicapped,( provided they have escaped death,) due to your self indulgence.  There will be no winners, when a life is expunged from the face of the earth -- only losers.
