“The investigators conclude that their findings support ‘an argument for the existence of a significant association between induced abortion and subsequent ectopic pregnancy in France.’”

Serious emotional issues

“Our results indicate that over 25% of women who have had pregnancy losses feel they need professional help.  Aborted women appear to require more and more sophisticated grief counseling than those who suffer other types of pregnancy loss.”

Increased future miscarriage rate

“Induced abortion by vacuum aspiration is associated with an increased risk of first-trimester miscarriage in the subsequent pregnancy.”

1. Increased rate of future premature births

   “The investigators conclude from these data that previous elective pregnancy terminations should be considered a risk factor for premature birth in subsequent pregnancies.”

2. Reeves claims that “Ireland is abortion-free like America is drug-free,” yet the reports that I hear from Ireland are that abortion truly is rare there. What evidence do you have that abortion is common in Ireland? Without evidence, your claims are baseless.

Embarrassingly, that is all the meat contained in Reeves’ shallow and meandering post. No research, no evidence, just personal opinion.

If you agree with the top medical and scientific research that shows that abortion increases future pregnancy risks, then I am correct and Reeves is misleading. If you reject the mainstream evidence and want to be scientifically backwards like Reeves, then understand that you are serving a selfish ideology at the rejection of truth.

I would also like to extend a warm invitation to Kathleen Reeves to debate this subject (whether induced abortion causes increased future pregnancy risks and therefore increased maternal death rate) in a public setting with me. A video of the debate would be made and posted in its entirety to YouTube. So Kathleen, I hope you will join me in putting our arguments up to the public spotlight, and may the truth win.
