Does this woman have a family history of brest cancer? "Assured" means 100% odds. I would be amazed if some researcher found that to be the case.

Gee, lots of heat and little light here.
My only novel thought is that the stats in the former Soviet Union might be interesting. For years, the only effective form of birth control available there was an abortion. The average Soviet woman had had several abortions. Their rate of breast cancer should be sky high, then. The epidemiology would be interesting.
I suspect it wouldn't change many minds, one way or another, though.

When you dance with the devil, you don't change the devil. The devil changes you.
You're assuming that attachment to a given political arrangement that is no longer in force is the equivalent of "dancing with the devil." In reality, we should be dumping buckets of holy water over the true Devil and if it takes "frivolous" lawsuits to accomplish that end, then so be it. Better that route than the status quo--or a more violent reaction which may eventually come.

===The National Academy of Sciences determines that there is no link, and we're the ones denying science?? yah.
The National Academy of Sciences also determined and was quoted (in the Congressional Record, no less) as averring:
Either the birth rate must go back down or the death rate must go back up.
====Oh, but they are all just hiding it for politics right?
I think it's quite possible they are somewhat jaundiced and less than "scientific" at times. And yes, it's just politics. Do you forget for whom it is they work? Did you think it was you?

Thanks for the link on Daling. Hers is compelling witness.
It's especially telling for its explaining somewhat why the Personal Injury (to be, maybe ...) is the tactic here rather than ensuring abortuaries be held to even a fraction of the regulatory standards of any surgical center.
Even I do recognize the link between abortion and breast cancer (among other symptoms of violently interrupting the body's being galvanized wholly toward pregnancy), I am not of the opinion coulda woulda shoulda is grounds for one individual to clean up and it's a weak case on its face for championing the link we know exists.
And too ... women must take responsibility for their own actions; particularly when they're patronizing surgeons whose professional medical oversight and accountability is less stringent than the nail salon or tattoo parlour.

Thanks for all the info! I've been so distracted worrying about Terri Schiavo. May the Good Lord protect Terri and keep her safe - In Jesus' Name - Amen.

Common sense tells us that a violent interruption of a pregnancy by abortion is going to cause severe health consequences. DUH! You don't even have to be smart to figure that out.

I actually saw your post (176) after I wrote mine. I will check out the link and the study. Thanks!

"The plaintiff was a 17-year-old Pennsylvania resident when a second-trimester abortion was performed in New Jersey without parental knowledge or consent."
To: Saundra Duffy
Great news!
I have wondered when we read about the high breast cancers in areas like Marin County where abortion has been part of the culture/religion for decades, what would happen if we had a good scientific investigation of the link between abortions and breast cancer in Marin.
Or would those liberal women, whose religion is abortion lie about having several abortions before the breast cancer struck them.

Common sense does tell us that, but the gap between "cause severe health consequences" and "cause breast cancer" is huge, also common sense is NOT scientific or legal proof. If and when you guys get proof of CAUSATION, not correlation, not mere common sense, THEN AND ONLY THEN you will have a case, until then you're allowing your beliefs to blind you to the necessities of both science and the law.

Fantastic! October 17th is the anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake in Northern California. Now, fourteen years later, another earth-shaking event! : )

I guess you must see a witch doctor, since to my knowledge, they aren't required to offer full disclosure about medical procedures.
