Prior abortion linked to autism? "Yes" says Harvard

Brent Rooney of Justice for Kids, which looks at the connection between previous abortions and problems in subsequent children, brought to our attention this recent study from Harvard. It is so powerful that I sent his press release to all the media outlets in Massachusetts. Take a look at their website, http://www.justiceforkids.webs.com.  It has intuitive but still-amazing information like the fact that the incidence of cerebral palsy went down by 71% in Poland when abortion was made illegal. You and Mother Nature have been right all along!   Following the press release, I have the link to a study showing that some stem cells of unborn babies stay with their mothers and protect them for a life-time! Not bad! Anne      Harvard Study Links Autism to Prior Abortions   9 January 2012   Press Release: Third Study Links Autism Risk to Prior Abortions Source:              Brent Rooney (MSc; Reduce Preterm Risk Coalition)   In 2011 Harvard University researchers led by Kristen Lyall reported that women with prior IAs (Induced Abortions) elevate their relative odds of delivering a newborn later diagnosed with Autism by a significant 26%.[1, Lyall] This makes at least the third published study finding that prior IAs significantly raise Autism risk in a newborn baby. In 2002 Ball State University researchers led by Diana Wilkerson reported significantly higher Autism risk for women with prior abortion surgery, a finding that was NOT mentioned in the abstract (i.e. summary) section of their study.[2, Wilkerson]. In 1999 Professor Larry Burd and colleagues found that women with prior IAs tripled their odds of having newborns later diagnosed with Autism.[3, Burd] The total lifetime cost ( medical + non-medical + lost income ) for a U.S. citizen with Autism was estimated by Harvard U. Professor Michael Ganz to be $3.2 million.[6, Ganz]   http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/unborn-child-just-a-parasite-cutting-edge-science-shows-fetal-cells-heal-mo             DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!      THANK YOU!    For more information about the Pro-Life cause in Massachusetts or to get involved    please visit our website at massprolife.com.
