ABORTIONS INCREASE RISK OF HAVING
PRETERM OR LOW-BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES
PRETERM OR LOW-BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES
www.bbc.co.uk -
The more abortions a woman has before her first child, the more likely
she is to give birth prematurely, a study has suggested. Data from all
300,858 first-time mothers in Finland between 1996 and 2008 was
analysed. The study showed women were three times more likely to have a
very premature baby, born before 28 weeks, if they had had three or more
abortions. The report was published in the journal Human Reproduction.
The overall risk was still low, the study suggested. Being born too soon
is linked to higher risks of infection, hypothermia and death. The
study showed there would be three babies born before 28 weeks for every
1,000 women who had never had an abortion, four per 1,000 who had had
one abortion, six in those who had had two abortions and 11 if the woman
had had three or more abortions. There were similar figures for babies
born before 37 weeks and for low birth weight. However, only 0.3% of
women in the study had had three or more abortions before their first
child. Researchers cannot say for certain that abortions result in
premature births, merely that they had spotted a link between the two.
However, they suggest that surgical abortions could increase the risk of
infection, which could affect future pregnancies.
The
lead researcher Dr Reija Klemetti, from the National Institute for
Health and Welfare in Helsinki, said: “Our results suggest that induced
abortions before the first birth, particularly three or more abortions,
are associated with a marginally increased risk during the first birth.
However, the increased risk is very small, particularly after only one
or even two abortions, and women should not be alarmed by our findings.”
Andrew Whitelaw, a professor of neo-natal medicine at the University of
Bristol, said: “While pre-term birth before 37 weeks' gestation exposes
an infant to a modest but definite increased risk of a range of serious
problems including brain injury and death, birth before 28 weeks
exposes the infant to a hugely increased risk of death, brain injury and
permanent disability. Thus an increase, after three or more abortions,
of nearly threefold in the odds of having an infant born before 28 weeks
is worrying. The steadily increasing survival of very pre-term infants
should not be interpreted as a solution to the problem of pre-term
birth. Increased survival of infants under 28 weeks is at the cost of
increased survival of infants with disability.”
WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US?
The
idea of abortion shows the depth of the crisis of values found in our
so-called “modern society”. The government tries to protect the
interests of consumers, industrial people, pensioners, etc. Could it be
that these creatures have no rights just because they can talk about
their needs and express their desire to live? How to be denied
protection to them? The legalization of abortion will be the burial of
the grace and dignity of man and the politician class, too. ... Ignoring
the law is no excuse to transgress it although abortion was legalized,
it would be a violation of the laws of nature (Law of Karma: Justice
infallible. Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth) in other words action
and reaction, both individually and collectively. Earthquakes in Popayan
or Mexico are reactions, they are not coincidences. We are responsible
for what we do and what we fail to do, too. ... We must strive to
achieve the purification of our existence by wholeheartedly promoting
compassion, truthfulness, internal and external cleaning, in realizing
our eternal life.Śrīla Bhakti Bimala Harijan Swami Mahārāja :
