Central Nervous System Birth Defects A Major Factor In Abortion Decisions.
2002 FEB 21 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A study in the February issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology that examined decision-making factors for termination of pregnancies with birth defects, found that central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are most likely to lead to abortion, compared with problems with other fetal organ systems.
Moreover, younger women with less education were less likely than older, more educated women to select abortion for CNS anomalies, suggesting that birth defects could disproportionately affect the children of parents who may be least capable of caring for their special needs.
