Health and Human Services (HHS) has recently declared that recent research demonstrates that acetaminophen use by pregnant women is a "a root cause of autism." Studies examining this link report that the risk of autism increases somewhere between 7 and 35 percent for unborn children exposed to this commonly used pain medication.
This is big news. But oddly, you won't find any HHS releases addressing the fact that induced abortion poses far higher rates of increased risk to women's mental health, heart health, and longevity.
A new study of over 1.2 million pregnancy outcomes in Quebec, Canada, confirms that psychiatric hospitalization is over twice as likely to occur after induced abortions than after live births (104 versus 42 cases per 10,000 person years). The rates of hospitalization were especially higher for substance abuse disorders (157% higher) and suicide attempts (116% higher).
This finding confirms results from a recent analysis of Danish medical records which showed a 50% increased risk of first-time psychiatric treatments in the first year following a first abortion.beauty girl cry
Similarly, analysis of medical records for over a million U.S. Medicaid recipients revealed that a history of abortion was linked to an 83% increased risk of post-partum psychiatric hospitalization following a subsequent live birth.
A meta-analysis calculating the population-attributable risk statistic concluded that 10% of all mental health problems treated in the U.S. are attributable to prior abortions.
But no one is talking about these findings.
