What Ms. Foss did not point out is that abortion is linked to an increased risk of pre-term birth and that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (2009), black women abort at three times the rate of white women. In an article on abortion and premature birth, Dr. Martin McCaffery, an associate professor in the Neonatal Perinatal Department of Pediatrics at the UNC School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, cited a study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine, which reviewed 41 prior studies on the subject.Dr. McCaffery relates, “The study determined that a single prior induced abortion increases the risk of a future very pre-term birth (less than 32 weeks) by 64 percent.”Although black women of child-bearing age make up on 13 percent of all the female population according to the U.S. Census Bureau (2013), they account for 30 percent of all abortions (Guttmacher Institute May 2010). It seems to me that the much higher abortion rate may help to explain both the increased incidence of pre-term birth and of infant mortality as discussed by Ms. Foss.Lastly, the risk of pregnancy loss through ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, both mentioned in her article, are also increased by prior abortion.Sheila BlaschColonieMore from The Daily Gazette:Albany County warns of COVID increaseFoss: Should main downtown branch of the Schenectady County Public Library reopen?EDITORIAL: Find a way to get family members into nursing homesEDITORIAL: Thruway tax unfair to working motoristsEDITORIAL: Urgent: Today is the last day to complete the census Categories: Letters to the Editor, Opinion Thank you to Sara Foss for her enlightening Nov. 12 article on infant mortality and its connection to race. Ms. Foss stated that black infants are two-and-a-half times more likely to die in the first year after birth than are white babies, and also that premature birth is a leading cause of infant mortality. She also stated that black women had a 48 percent higher rate of pre-term birth than all other women.
