October Surprise: Autism Linked to Abortion

MEDIA ADVISORY, October 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- In the 15 October 
2008 McCain/Obama debate AUTISM was mentioned at the beginning and at 
the end of the debate.  Dr. Getahun ( Darios.T.Getahun at kp.org 
<mailto:Darios.T.Getahun at kp.org>) and colleagues have identified 
stressors for risks to newborns such as infection ('chorioamnionitis'), 
fetal distress, premature birth etc.[1] [URL:

One stressor listed by Getahun is a prior induced abortion.  Three times 
as many families are affected by the serious behavioral problems of 
autistic children than the number of families affectedby Cerebral Palsy. 
Male infants have higher autism risk than females; gastrointestinal 
problems are a likely autism risk factor.  Whether vaccinations elevate 
autistic risk is not a settled issue; http://www.thinktwice.com

has general vaccination warnings.  There is evidence that metal 
poisoning (e.g.s. mercury, lead) raises autistic risk. Autism prevalence 
estimates vary widely. In 2006 Judith Grether estimated prevalence at 
6-7 per one thousand U.S. children with autism. Dr. Getahun never 
mentions AUTISM, but any risk factor that boosts the odds of premature 
birth, has raised the AUTISM risk of a newborn.

Premature birth elevates risk for CP, mental retardation, epilepsy, 
blindness, deafness, respiratory distress, gastrointestinal problems, 
serious infections, AUTISM, etc. In 2008 Norwegian researchers led by 
Dag Moster reported that extremely premature newborns (under 28 weeks' 
gestation) had 9.7 times the autism risk as full-term newborns (at least 
37 weeks' gestation).[2] In another 2008 study it was reported that 
newborn under 1,500 grams (i.e. 3 lbs. 5 ozs.) had an absolute 26% risk 
of autism.[3]

Since 1992 there have been 5 statistically significant studies to report 
that women with prior induced abortions had higher risk of delivering an 
extremely preterm newborn.[4-8] In 2007 the Institute of Medicine in a 
textbook identified "Prior first trimester induced abortion" as an 
"Immutable Medical Risk Factor Associated with Preterm Birth" [9]; [ URL:

].

Abortion and Autism are Linked. The most common abortion procedure 
(vacuum aspiration abortion) has zero published animal studies to 
validate its safety. The lack of such animal studies means that 100% of 
'suction' abortions violate rule 3 of the 1947 Nuremberg Code (i.e. 
animal testing of a new surgery or new drug must precede human trials). 
Senator Barack Obama has never been asked:

"How can you, Senator Obama, fully support the 1947 Nuremberg Code of 
medical ethics and also support 'suction' abortion, which has zero 
published animal studies to support its safety?"

Black American newborns have four times the rate of births under 28 
weeks' gestation as Caucasian newborns (1.39% versus 0.35%).[9]
