BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry Westen   December 5, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) -  A new study to be released in the upcoming January 2007 issue of BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, but made available online in a pre-release on the journal website, shows that abortion, artificial procreation, and those achieved out of wedlock are linked to increased miscarriage rates.  Researcher Noreen Maconochie and her team from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine found a 60% increased risk of miscarriage associated with previous abortion.  The study surveyed over 12,000 women.  Researchers questioned 6,300 women aged 18-55 years whose most recent pregnancy had ended in first trimester miscarriage and compared them to 6116 women aged 18-55 years whose most recent pregnancy had progressed beyond 12 weeks.  Artificial procreation or “assisted conception”, non-married status and changing sexual partners also were found to significantly increase the risk of miscarriage.  Nausea during early pregnancy appears to be beneficial in terms of avoiding miscarriage and the study also found that vitamin supplementation and eating fresh fruits and vegetables daily were associated with reduced risk.  The authors found the association of miscarriage with abortion “noteworthy” and recommended further work to confirm the finding.  See the abstract online here:  http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1471-0528.2006.01193.x  See related LifeSiteNews.com coverage:  Abortion Causes Mental Disorders: New Zealand Study  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/feb/060210a.html  Sleep Disorders Increase After Abortion Says New Study  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/feb/060210a.html  New Study Confirms Abortion Increases Risk of Future Premature Births  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/feb/060210a.html  After Abortion the Mental Distress Lasts for Years says New Study  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/dec/05121204.html  After Abortion Women’s Suicide Rates Are Highest Says New Study  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/dec/05121204.html  Abortion of Unintended Pregnancy Linked to Higher Substance Abuse: New Study  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/dec/05121204.html  MAJOR STUDY ON ABORTION FINDS RISKS MUCH HIGHER THAN EXPECTED  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/dec/05121204.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/miscarriage-linked-to-out-of-wedlock-pregnancies-abortion-artificial-procre/
