The results of a new study in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology say that women who have an abortion are 1.7 times more likely to give birth prematurely in a later pregnancy. This finding has the potential to explode some of the myths of pro-choice advocates who do not want to admit that any adverse consequences result from abortion. The only way to keep this bomb shell from going off is to keep it buried and out of public view. Let’s see if we hear anything about this story in the news in the coming weeks. Don’t hold your breath.

I’m confident the only media we’ll see is on the Official Denny Burk Blog, unfortunately.

of course, the media doesn’t want to announce these truths, they only want to include what fits into their agenda. still, i have not lost complete faith in our great nation.
