An article in the June issue of the Green Journal (Obstetrics & Gynecology 2011;117[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][6]:1279-1287) shows that babies delivered at full term (at least 39 weeks) are only half as likely to die as infants delivered at 37 weeks, (according to a study from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, the March of Dimes, and the US Food and Drug Administration.) Put it this way: babies born at 37 wks are twice as likely to suffer neonatal death than babies born at 39-40 wks. This is no secret: prematurity is a well known risk factor for neonatal death. And it is no secret to those who practice evidence-based medicine that one induced abortion is associated with a 30% increase in prematurity, 2 induced abortions is associated with a 70 to 90% increase in prematurity: https://www.aaplog.org/complications-of-induced-abortion/induced-abortion-and-pre-term-birth/ It is no secret, but it is evidence that is simply avoided (or downplayed) by groups like the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, the March of Dimes, and the US Food and Drug Administration, or the ACOG, for that matter. (Check their websites.) Connect the dots: induced abortion leads to increased prematurity in the next pregnancy, which leads to increased neonatal mortality. So induced abortion leads to increased neonatal mortality-start with 100% mortality for the aborted baby- and significantly increases the rate of both prematurity and mortality for the next baby. That is the evidence base that is pretty much ignored in our medical world. And unknown to our lay-world. Increased neonatal death is a part of the Choice. Think about it. KEEPSAKE ULTRASOUNDS http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/743561?src=emailthis According to a Medscape Medical News article. a presentation at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) 2011 Annual Convention: (Abstract 990682. Presented April 16, 2011) suggests that ‘Keepsake’ Sonograms May Be Skewing Birth Sex Ratios. (BSR). May 27, 2011 (New York, New York) — The commercial availability of reasonably priced 4-dimensional ultrasound machines has enabled the proliferation of storefront businesses that offer so-called “keepsake” high-resolution sonograms. Although a direct causal link cannot be proven, the presence of these businesses in predominantly Asian and South Asian communities correlates with an observed imbalance in live birth sex ratios (BSRs) favoring boys over girls, Results of this analysis were striking. “In every single year, Asians had a lower [BSR] than any other ethnic group,” reported Dr. Lin. “The normal range for gender ratio is 950 to 960 [per 1000], but in this analysis, Asians go down as low as 920 [per 1000] on average. In Santa Clara County, there were 4 years where it went below 910.” A direct link between obtaining a keepsake ultrasound and sex-selective abortions cannot be proven. However, those listening to this presentation were clearly concerned. “[The ultrasound centers] are providing images for entertainment,” said AIUM Second Vice President J. Oscar Barahona, BS, RDMS, “but these are diagnostic images, and that falls quite short of what these medical procedures are for.”[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
