Subject: RE: BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire
From what I remember of my gynaecology days the rate of spontaneous (i.e. non-induced) miscarriage can be as high as 1/3 of all pregnancies in the first trimester (3 months). And looking at those figures above, not much shift in the % of pregnancies ending in termination of pregnancy.No cause for complacency, of course, but has the "problem" been over-estimated?
