Abortion And Autism

Quick Question: What is Autism?

Quick Question: What's the financial cost of someone with Autism?

Quick Question: What is the current incidence of Autism in the U.S.?
--Quick Answer: 1 in 110 newborns according to the C.D.C. (i.e., there are 39,000 new Autism cases in U.S. newborns yearly).

Quick Question: Are there any risk 'vectors' via which a prior induced abortion (IA) elevates Autism risk?
--Quick Answer: Yes. Five (5) mechanisms support the Abortion-Autism-Axis.1 Here they are:

  1. Increased Parental Age At Delivery Of Newborn Baby

  2. Increased Odds Of An Extremely Preterm Birth (<28 Weeks' Gestation)

  3. Increased Maternal Smoking Odds

  4. Increased Parental Psychiatric Disorders Odds

  5. Increased Maternal Alcoholism Odds

The Abortion-Autism-Axis

Induced abortions have over 40 adverse side-effects. There is no greater medical interest on the Internet and among the public than Autism. No systematic reviews have ever cleared suction abortion of Autism risk. It is now settled science that prior induced abortion (IA) boost the risk of premature birth.

Brothers, we really need to talk.
