It seems a recent study of over 2,800 births found that for those mothers that previously had an abortion, the chances of their baby being born prematurely increased quite a bit. Here's the money quote . . .
A French study of 2,837 births - the first to investigate the link between terminations and extremely premature births - found that mothers who had previously had an abortion were 1.7 times more likely to give birth to a baby at less than 28 weeks' gestation. Many babies born this early die soon after birth, and a large number who survive suffer serious disability.Posted by Ted at May 14, 2005 8:27 PM
