Reardon). Stakes, the statistical analysis unit of the National Research and Development Center of Welfare and Health in Finland, pulled death certificates for women of reproductive age, 15-49. Between 1987 and 1994, the deaths totaled 9,192 women. The chart on the left is a copy form the STAKES research obtained by Reardon. It shows that in the year they give birth as being half that of women who are not pregnant. Compared to women, who abort are 3.5 times more likely to die within a year. It is true that the results, regardless how painstakingly taken, could definitely be flawed greatly, but then again the results may be perfectly accurate.Figure 1 only monitored natural deaths. It proves that abortions may be so physically damaging that it may even lead to death. Abortion does have another way of influencing death upon women. The result is known as Post Abortion Syndrome, which will not be further discussed in this paper. This may lead to suicide as shown in Figure 2.STAKES has reported that reported that the risk of death from suicide within the year of an abortion was more than seven times higher than the risk of suicide within a year of childbirth. Examples of post-abortion suicide/infanticide attempts have also been documented in the United States. Among the 281 women who died within a year of their last pregnancy, 77 (27 percent) had committed suicide. Figure 2 shows the age-adjusted odd ratio for suicide for the three pregnancy groups compared to the "no pregnancy" control group.Abortion is a medical topic that needs to be abolished. While many may support or oppose the authors opinion, their reasons are not based on the right foundation. Those who are Pro-life use the foundation of their religion to prove their point. These people believe that their God may have a purpose for all that are brought to this Earth.
