To find the latest and most accurate information on aspects of induced abortion.
A literature survey was carried out in which five aspects of abortion were scrutinised: risk to life, risk of breast cancer, risk to mental health, risk to future fertility, and fetal pain.
Abortion is clearly safer than childbirth. There is no evidence of an association between abortion and breast cancer. Women who have abortions are not at increased risk of mental health problems over and above women who deliver an unwanted pregnancy. There is no negative effect of abortion on a woman's subsequent fertility. It is not possible for a fetus to perceive pain before 24 weeks' gestation. Misinformation on abortion is widespread. Literature and websites are cited to demonstrate how data have been manipulated and misquoted or just ignored. Citation of non-peer reviewed articles is also common. Mandates insisting on provision of inaccurate information in some US State laws are presented. Attention is drawn to how women can be misled by Crisis Pregnancy Centres.
There is extensive promulgation of misinformation on abortion by those who oppose abortion. Much of this misinformation is based on distorted interpretation of the scientific literature.
获取关于人工流产各方面的最新且最准确的信息。
开展了一项文献调查，对人工流产的五个方面进行了详细审查：生命风险、乳腺癌风险、心理健康风险、未来生育能力风险以及胎儿疼痛。
人工流产明显比分娩更安全。没有证据表明人工流产与乳腺癌之间存在关联。与那些分娩意外怀孕胎儿的女性相比，进行人工流产的女性出现心理健康问题的风险并未增加。人工流产对女性后续生育能力没有负面影响。胎儿在妊娠24周之前不可能感知疼痛。关于人工流产的错误信息广泛传播。引用了文献和网站来展示数据是如何被操纵、错误引用或干脆被忽视的。引用未经同行评审的文章也很常见。介绍了美国一些州法律中要求提供不准确信息的规定。提请注意危机怀孕中心是如何误导女性的。
反对人工流产的人广泛传播关于人工流产的错误信息。其中许多错误信息是基于对科学文献的歪曲解读。
