London, England (LifeNews.com) -- The head of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is denouncing a new study which claims that there is no link between abortion and breast cancer. The study is receiving enormous attention in the media and from groups that hope to downplay the link.

Coalition president Karen Malec told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the researchers who produced the study are biased.

"They're cooking the books to come up with the desired result," Malec told the newspaper.

In the latest study, which the mainstream media are depicting as the final word on the subject of abortion and breast cancer, researchers from the University of Oxford simply took a second look at studies that had been conducted previously.

Dr. Valerie Beral asked the authors of the studies to provide their original data so that it could be examined by epidemiologists at Oxford. The Oxford group examined studies involving tens of thousands of women.

Beral said, "The totality of the worldwide epidemiological evidence indicates that pregnancies ended by induced abortion do not have adverse effects on women's subsequent risk of developing breast cancer."

But the analysis produced by Beral’s team, published in the journal Lancet, appears to be flawed, according to Malec.

Here's the link they missed -

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death....

uhh, we're all sinners and we're all gonna die.

Women who have had abortions can get to heaven following the same path as any other sinner, or are you privy to something this mere mortal is not.

[The Lumster]

I didn't say that forgivness was not available for women who've had abortions. It certainly is.

My point it simply that you cannot go through life ignoring Gods law and not expect not to pay a price in the here and now.

I wish I knew who said/wrote this, but here's a quote that I think you'll like: "God always forgives; Man sometimes forgives; Nature never forgives."

Jeremiah 12:1 Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly?

[Romulus]

In a news release from Lancet announcing the publication of the study, Professor Richard Peto said, "Studies can give misleading results if women are asked about previous abortions only after they are diagnosed with breast cancer. This may well be because, on average, women with breast cancer are more likely than other women to disclose any prior induced abortions."

A brazen, counter-intuitive assertion, with no supporting evidence. We've seen this before.

Jeremiah 12:1 Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly?

Two answers come to mind:

Psalm 73:16 When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me 17 till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny. 18 Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin. 19 How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors! 20 As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.

Psalm 37:35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil, 36 but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.

I've witnessed a few instances (personally and on the world stage) of that Psalm 37 verity.
