Planned Parenthood study: abortion ups miscarriage rate

A study from Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research and the National Laboratory of Contraceptives and Devices Research states:

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

A chart of their research is included below:

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

As you can see from the chart, the Primigravidae group of women that have never had an abortion had a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) rate that was lower than those who had a prior induced abortion.

The study also estimated how many first-trimester miscarriages were due to past induced abortions, saying:

“we estimate thatabout 15% of first-trimester miscarriages in Shanghai can beattributed to prior history of induced abortion”
