Choose Life a new report in a prestigious medical journal (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology) confirms what previous studies have shown: abortion is associated with an increased risk of premature birth in subsequent pregnancies. Although the link is well-established, women are not normally informed of the risk when they are counseled at abortion centers.  (Life News)
