Abortion and low birth weight, preterm delivery

March 9, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

There’s an article today in the papers about the birth control pill being linked to low birth weight. (It’s supposed to be here, however, at time of posting this, the National Post web site is down.)

That’s not a study or a link I’m familiar with, and so not having seen the study I’d rather not comment on this link.

However, the article also says:

Babies born with a low birth weight or prematurely — a growing problem in Canada whose cause is not always clear — are more likely to suffer health problems.

It is clear through more than one study that an abortion is linked to subsequent preterm delivery. Read about it here, here or here.

We’re not allowed to talk about any adverse health effects the result of abortion. So it’s important to highlight these things, and learn about them, as they come up.
