Lifenews again. Joy. Because they're not a bunch of fucking liars at all (psst, yes they are).
The risk is increased enough, because of the abortion, that 10 percent of all women who have an abortion will give birth prematurely in their subsequent pregnancy that they carry to term, the researchers found.
For reference, the U.K. has a collective premature birth rate of about 8%. The U.S. has >12%. The women in this study
who got abortions have less of a chance of premature birth than the average U.S. woman.
dangerous RU 486 abortion drug (which has killed dozens of women and injured more than 1,100 in the United States alone).

2) Dangerous? That's retarded. Here are the actual numbers:
Wikipedia wrote:A maternal mortality rate for the U.S. of 24 per 100,000 was reported for 2008
Wikipedia wrote:of about 1.52 million women who had received mifepristone until April 2011 in the US, fourteen were reported to have died after application. Eight of these cases were associated with sepsis; the other six had various causes like drug abuse and suspected murder.
We'll throw out the 6 cases of drug abuse and suspected murder, because side effects of mifepristone cannot possibly include "an addiction to cocaine and being stabbed." That's eight cases of potential death by mifepristone.
Mortality rate of having a baby: 24 in 100,000
Mortality rate of taking mifepristone: .5 in 100,000.
Taking mifepristone is
48 times safer than not taking mifepristone. Calling that dangerous makes you a lying asshole. Lifenews, as well-established by now, are a bunch of lying assholes.
