Jonny, you suck and have no clue!!! LOL... Just playing bro.

Here are my thoughts...

While I do agree that the hogs are not actually having an "abortion", females who can not find proper nesting will drop their eggs anywhere in a last ditch effort to survive. Females holding onto eggs too long and in in many cases does cause problems even if the problems are not evident right away. Sometimes the problem is immediate and a female will hold eggs too long and become eggbound because the eggs grow too large to be passed or the egg embryo dies and the egg solidifies and becomes harder to push out. The internal damage caused by egg retention can cause problems the next time or further on a female goes to lay eggs. Sure, she may have squeezed the eggs out fine the first 2 or 3 times but the 4th time may kill her because of the damage done 2 clutches ago. Part complete.
