Abortions may pose risk to future babies, according to study

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/sep/16/abortion-risk-weight-premature-study
hi everybody, today I will make a summary of a item that I found on www.guardian.co.uk , which is about the risk that womans who make an abortion runs if they try to have a baby in some other time in the future., which could born premature or with low weight.
The research had place out in Canada, where they say that maybe one of the most important reasons of the damage in the new borns is that abortions cause damage on the woman's cervix, which difficult the pregnancy process.
Dr Prakesh Shah who made the review says that womens don't have the right information to take important decissions related to pregnancy (in the case of the terminating pregnancy) and also related to abortion (in the case of the methods that they use to literally extract the baby), so womens need to have all the information they could so they can take an informed choice.
Another thing that Dr. Shah hopes is that the results of his study don't be misrepresented by anti-abotion groups, considering that he propose that womens need to get information about how to do the abortion.
And that's why The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that womans need to be really supported on their choices, because after all the abortion is now an important topic in womens healthcare.
They found that womens who already had abortions are in a 72% increased risk for low birth weight and 93% for prematurity. There was no increased risk that the baby would be small for gestational age.
In the other hand abortions now, could have safer ways to be done but, anyway the womens that suffer this tend to be unmarried, young and from socio-economically disadvantaged groups, the paper notes, but the researchers believe they have allowed for this in their calculations.
Finally this study doesn't mean that womes if they already had an abortion they couldn't have any more babys but, and to finish i would like to quote the words of the Dr. : "The effect has to be balanced against the serious effects of forcing women to continue with unwanted pregnancies," he said. "Any medical procedure is likely to have side-effects."
Ok, that's all, see you people!
