VANCOUVER, January 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Reduce Preterm Risk Coalition (RPRC) has, after an extensive search, failed to find a single study showing that a woman's risk of dying after an abortion improves. Contrary to the claims of abortion advocates who assert that abortion can better women's lives, studies have shown that women's risk of dying increases dramatically after abortion.
RPRC points out that "In 1997 the top Scandinavian journal in the field of women's health reported that in the 12 months after an induced abortion, such women had a 252% higher relative TOTAL risk of dying compared to women who delivered. ( Acta Obstet Gyn Scand 1997; 76:651-657 )" The $1000 prize in the contest is to go to the first person who counters the Scandinavian study with a study showing significantly lower total one year death risk to women who have elective abortions compared to women who delivered.
RPRC admits however that the contest money will likely never be awarded. "If we knew of such a study (we have looked hard), we would not be holding this contest 3 decades after 'Roe v. Wade'," says the RPRC release.
Brent Rooney of RPRC points out that the 22 Jan. 1973 'Roe v Wade' U.S. Supreme Court decision making elective abortion 'legal' contained a stipulation that elective 'terminations' that are not in a patient's best interest are still not legal. Thus, with no studies to demonstrate abortion is in a woman's best interest, the contest is aptly named the "Keep 'Roe v Wade' legal Contest".
