The second article you quoted can't be accessed, but the first paragraph does state this:

To the Editor: Greene and Ecker's interesting exploration of difficulties in risk–benefit analyses with regard to therapeutic abortions (Jan. 8 issue)1 is, unfortunately, flawed by the use of disparate comparisons. For example, they cite sources that use dissimilar definitions, populations, and means of case identification to calculate comparative death rates for abortion and childbirth. This approach is problematic, since efforts to track deaths associated with pregnancy and abortion are hampered by inaccurate death certificates and inconsistent definitions.2 Citing the only two record-based, case–control studies that directly compared death rates associated with abortion and childbirth would have been more informative.2,3

That's why the second study that showed the same result is so significant.


What link do you have that shows your cut and paste as the "first paragraph". In this link, it's waaay down the page and is part of a letter to the authors. AND the authors answered the letter explaining their conclusion.
Suicides after pregnancy -- Morgan et al. 314 (7084): 902 -- BMJ
