Birth Defects

The UVA Health System Causes Birth Defects in Three Different Ways,
and Keeps Their Patients in the Dark About All of Them.
By not specifically informing women that the elective abortions they are performing cause preterm birth later in life due to compromised cervix and/or damaged uterus.	By keeping women in the dark about the dozens of studies that have proven that estrogens and progestins can damage a child in utero when they sell them pills, patches, and rings.	By giving away a very powerful dose of progestin in the form of the "Plan B" morning after pills. In addition to not telling people that these pills work after conception as well as before, all the science connecting progestin to birth defects are also avoided.
" Women with a history of induced abortion were at higher risk of very preterm delivery than those with no such history (OR + 1.5, 95% CI 1.1–2.0); the risk was even higher for extremely preterm deliveries (<28 weeks). The association between previous induced abortion and very preterm delivery varied according to the main complications leading to very preterm delivery. A history of induced abortion was associated with an increased risk of premature rupture of the membranes, antepartum haemorrhage (not in association with hypertension) and idiopathic spontaneous preterm labour that occur at very small gestational ages (<28 weeks). Conversely, no association was found between induced abortion and very preterm delivery due to hypertension."

The strength of the association increased with decreasing gestational age at birth."

Of these, Early Preterm Birth (EPB—under 32 weeks, infants weighing under 1500 grams, or about three pounds.) is at 7.8%, the highest rate in the past 30 years of stats. As noted in the studies above, previous induced abortions’ have an inordinately increased association with “extreme” (<27 wk) and “early”(<32 wk) premature deliveries (compared to 32 – 37 week premature births.) Thus, it follows that abortion will also have an inordinately increased association with cerebral palsy and other disabilities linked to extreme prematurity.
