Jennifer Groover, CNS Correspondent, reports on the Finnish Study that disputes claims by abortion-rights activists that abortion is safer for a woman than childbirth.<\/p>\n

“The study involved maternal post-abortion deaths of 9,192 Finnish women, aged 15-49, during the period of 1987-1994. The researchers pulled death certificates and reproductive health records and then narrowed the study to women who had a pregnancy-related event (birth, miscarriage, abortion) in the twelve months prior to their deaths. The deaths included suicide, accidental death, homicide, and natural causes.<\/p>\n

“The results are startling. A woman’s risk of dying within a year after an abortion was four times higher than the risk of dying after miscarriage or childbirth, according to the study.<\/p>\n

“The results contradict statements made by the pro-choice movement. that abortion is safer than childbirth for women. The National Abortion Federation says, ‘Abortion is one of the safest types of surgery. Complications from having an abortion … are less frequent and less serious than those associated with having birth.’ … “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
