Abortion
 


Every year 136 million children are born worldwide , and 46 million abortions are carried out .[1]

Data indicate that women that had a procured abortion, committed a greater number of homicides [2] and committed up to 6 more times suicide , than those that completed their pregnancy.[3],[4]

Women that had an abortion are more prone to use illegal drugs,[5] like crack,[6] even during a future pregnancy,[7],[8] and up to 5 times[9] more drug abuse , than the ones that completed pregnancy .

Studies indicate that women that have had an induced abortion present 62% higher risk of dying within the next 8 years,[10] vascular and cerebrovascular problems .[11]

Women that an induced abortion have a higher risk ,for their future children being affected with low birth weight [12],[13] y and premature birth. [14],[15], [16],[17],[18]
