Abortion rates rising in Zika-affected countries - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Fears over birth defects from mosquito-borne Zika may be driving up
abortion rates in Latin American countries affected by the virus, a new
study finds.
In Brazil and Ecuador -- where governments have issued health warnings
on the danger to the fetus from maternal Zika infection -- requests for
abortion in 2016 have doubled from 2010 rates, researchers say."
Comment: While the Zika virus is terrible and causes very tragic birth defects, it's also causing an unexpected rise in the number of abortions in affected countries.
