The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation had noble beginnings, launched by Nancy Goodman Brinker in response to a promise she made to her dying sister, Susan Goodman Komen, to do all she could to eradicate breast cancer. Komen succumbed to the disease in 1980 at age 36. Nancy went on to contract the disease herself and is now a survivor.
SGK has a noble mission, "to save lives and end breast cancer forever."
But for years pro-lifers have opposed contributing to SGK because it not only denies that induced abortions may cause breast cancer, it also bestows financial grants to Planned Parenthood affiliates.
Pro-lifers believe that for all the good SGK does, it shoots its mission in both feet by refusing to educate women about the abortion-breast cancer link while funding the United States' largest abortion provider.
Disregarding decades of worldwide studies concluding there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, logic alone says abortion increases the risk.
On its website, SGK acknowledges that childbearing protects women from breast cancer, and the more children a mother bears and the younger she begins bearing them the better. SGK also acknowledges breast-feeding protects against breast cancer.
But abortion blocks all those preventative measures.
Only last week a new study got lots of press that found breast cancer survivors lower their risk of dying by 42 percent simply by getting pregnant.
But abortion blocks that protection.
SGK acknowledges never having children increases a woman's risk of getting breast cancer, and delaying childbearing, particularly after age 35, also increases the risk.
And abortion increases the risk of both those risks.

Once again - Liberals Lie and Millions Die.
Absolutely:
“Liberals Lie and Millions Die.”
Abortion; the proxy to infanticide and genocide sponsored by the political class!
This sort of thing is why they call us coo-coo.......
Just carrying on the tradition of Margaret Sanger.
I thought that too until I read the actual medical studies - very compelling...at least to the degree that it should be added to “informed consent” as fair warning.
The causal-relationship between abortion and breast cancer has been realized for more that 30 years; nonetheless, this will not stop because those who bought the lies of abortion believe this is the solution to their inconvenience within a society.
btt
I am also a breast cancer survivor and I am willing to believe the evidence. However, I am beginning to feel a little defensive. I need a T-shirt that says “I never had an abortion!”
Also, I am sorry you are going through this. Prayers for your full recovery, and for strength and peace. I hit five years on the 13th :-)
Why, because scientific evidence shows a clear link between abortion and risk of breast cancer?
Five years....music to my ears. Congratulations. I hope to be there in....4.5 years....
There is life (and hair) after breast cancer :-)
No, some scientists BELIEVE there is global warming and ASSUME that cow farts contribute to it. However, it is beyond question that breast cancer exists and there is strong evidence that abortion raises the risk of getting breast cancer.
At present most breast cancer victims are too old to have had abortions, but breast cancer rates are rising among younger women and links to past abortion have been noted.
SGK has a noble mission,....

Perhaps it did at one time, but, even before this Planned Parenthood association, they lost nobility. They are just a money-making scheme masquerading as a good cause.
