There are two reasons that Insurance companies are giving discounts if a woman does not have an abortion:

1) In 1997, the top Scandinavian medical journal in the field of obstetrics and gynecology published that Finnish women who have an induced abortion had 3.5 times the TOTAL risk of dying as women who delivered in the 12 months after 'the end of pregnancy.' (Acta Obstet Gyn Scand 1997;76:651-657)

2) Fifty studies have found that abortions increase the risk of preterm babies in subsequent pregnancies. Thus the baby is of low birth weight and much more prone to develop physical and mental problems including Cerebral Palsy. There have been NO studies done to disprove this. NONE, NADA, ZILCH.

Let the market decide - is abortion a money saver or a money waster? Well, those tight fisted insurance companies in Switzerland are saying that abortion is a money sink hole (as reported by www.Lifenews.com ):

Women Who Refuse Abortion, In-Vitro Get Insurance Discounts Bern, Switzerland (LifeNews.com) -- At least five health insurance companies in Switzerland are providing discounts for women who avoid having abortions or submitting to in-vitro fertilization. The insurance companies provide the discounts through a partnership with a pro-life group there. Since 2004 the insurance agencies have had a program set up with the Swiss Aid for Mother and Child, a pro-life group.

Thousands of people have signed the special contracts with the company to get a discount for not having abortions. The insurance agencies offer a discount of as much as 10 to 40 percent off the standard premiums. Josef Zisyadis, national adviser of the Popular Workers Party, complained about the practice and advised the Swiss government to curb it. However, the Federal Council said it would not intervene in the insurance arrangements and urged the National Council, the parliament's largest chamber, to reject Zisyadis' motion.
