Parent’s Worst Nightmare: Wave of Babies Born in Japan With Extra Arms and Legs Due to Fukushima Radiation… Stillbirth Numbers on the Rise
(NaturalNews) Five years after the Fukushima nuclear accident, local residents are reporting a marked increase in serious birth defects, but due to an ongoing coverup by Japanese authorities, and a severe lack of scientific studies being performed, very little information on the subject is reaching the public.
A February, 2016 broadcast on LaborNet TV featured interviews with evacuees from the affected areas near the Daiichi nuclear plant, who provided firsthand accounts of babies being born with extra limbs caused by a structural birth defect called polymelia.

‘Inconvenient pregnancies,’ abortions and stillbirths
The interviewees also reported a large number of stillbirths, as well as numerous abortions performed due to “inconvenient pregnancies” – in other words, pregnancies in which birth defects were detected prenatally, causing doctors to recommend abortion procedures.
Setsuko Kida, one of the women interviewed, said:
“My daughter [got] pregnant in the fall of 2013, but she was diagnosed with tethered miscarriage… the womb grew… but her unborn baby didn’t grow at all…
“So she had the abortion. My daughter called and told her friend about her abortion… She was told that out of 4 in her friends group, 3, including herself, had abortion during early pregnancy. The only one who could give birth was told by her doctor that she was unable to give birth because of the baby’s weak heart sound…
“A nurse I knew told me that many get abortions in Fukushima. My daughter and friends are just a few of those…
“A year later I got to hear first hand cases of babies with a structural birth defect or polymelia…”
Although these firsthand accounts must be considered anecdotal evidence, the stories are compelling, and there’s little reason to doubt them. And these accounts are especially important since there have been so few studies conducted on health effects resulting from the disaster.
