A newly released research paper charges that researchers are burying data that shows a link between abortion and dangerous preterm births in later pregnancies.
No less than 127 individual studies of women from all around the world show that both induced and spontaneous abortion is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth.
The study found that women who have undergone abortion have an 81% increase in the risk of mental health problems, and an even greater risk for substance misuse and suicidal behaviour.
