According to its president, the National Breast Cancer Coalition has "revolutionized" public policy in the quest to eradicate breast cancer.
But NBCC has an odd way of running its revolution.
On May 4, NBCC announced the Golden Boob Awards, to "highlight the biggest boobs of all the organizations that are using breast cancer purely as a way to make money or to promote an ideology."
"Biggest boobs"? That NBCC would so crassly refer to a body part carrying such deep sexual and maternal significance to those mourning or fearing its loss is shameful the equivalent to announcing the Little Baldy Awards for child leukemia research.
NBCC's top nominee was the Coalition on Abortion-Breast Cancer, of which I am an advisery board member.
NBCC accused CABC of "using breast cancer as a scare tactic" by "assert[ing] abortion leads to an increased risk of breast cancer."
Meanwhile, NBCC's president, Fran Visco, recently insisted her group had "no agenda other than to end breast cancer."
If that were true, why would they worry whether women were scared from abortion?
NBCC's treasurer, Cynthia Pearson, is the former director of both a San Diego abortion mill and a Colorado NARAL group. She is currently president of National Women's Health Network, an organization promoting abortion. She has taught women to commit self abortions known as "menstrual extractions," for over 20 years.
Allowing Pearson on the board of NBCC is like allowing a tobacco executive on the board of the American Lung Association in the 1960s. Does no one see a conflict of interest?
But I suspect it's not just NBCC. Any breast-cancer advocacy or science organization that allows abortion proponents to hold positions of influence is suspect.
And here's something I find remarkable. No group disputing a link between abortion and breast cancer knows the cause of breast cancer:
But each of those groups is sure abortion is not one of the causes they do not know.
"The fact is that abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer," stated Visco.
Really? She's absolutely sure that a medical procedure tampering with a breast carcinogen has nothing to do with inflicting cancer in the breast?
Yes, the federal government announced five years ago that estrogen is a "known carcinogen" of breast tissue.
Estrogen is the major female hormone that tells a woman's body to do womanly things like grow breasts.
But too much estrogen can be problematic. This is why those ignorant breast-cancer organizations at least know the following breast-cancer risks:
Further, they agree the following factors decrease risks:
And these are successful treatments for breast cancer:
Given all that, logically consider induced abortion, which interrupts the release of estrogen to a pregnant woman's breasts during cell differentiation and maturation, leaving cells with no further instructions.
Is it plausible that this phenomenon could increase the risk of breast cancer?
Eight medical organizations think so, including the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, which called this "highly plausible" in 2003.
Meanwhile, the National Cancer Institute indicated the incidence of breast cancer rose 25 percent overall between 1973-1996. For ages 65 and younger, it rose 18 percent.
But to date, NBCC refuses CABC's request for experts on both sides to debate the issue.
To date, no debate has ever taken place at any science meeting.
In 2003, NCI concluded there was no ABC link, refusing to allow differing opinion, discounting verified studies, leaning instead on unpublished studies.
Now I have to ask, in the crass words of NBCC: Who are the biggest boobs?
Is it plausible that this phenomenon could increase the risk of breast cancer?
Eight medical organizations think so, including the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, which called this "highly plausible" in 2003.
And the left will NEVER allow the general public to know this.
DISCUSSION ABOUT:
Jill Stanek: The biggest boobs
The left will allow women to die of breast cancer to protect abortion.

"Golden Boob Award"?
Sounds like another self-congratulatory hollywood prize show.
I'd watch just to see what the trophy's look like.
"Allowing Pearson on the board of NBCC is like allowing a tobacco executive on the board of the American Lung Association in the 1960s. Does no one see a conflict of interest?" Nurse Stanek knows the answer to that rhetorical question ... Pearson's abortion bonifides are precisely what the NBCC is looking for since the real goal is to protect all rites which empower 'the goddess' that is woman, and the rite of slaughtering your alive unborn child while still in your 'sacred body' is the #1 rite of this goddess worship, so whether that rite may cause breast cancer is to be ignored and suppressed as heresy to the cult/coven.
As with most of Hollywood, these boobs are not real either.
Facts and logical thought mean nothing to a liberal and their causes. Never.
Seen two, seen them all as the old saw goes. (Never belived it!)
I was drawn in by the title, but will stay for the articles (posts).
Or perhaps you were drawn in hopes of photos. :)
That is true... I will refrain from posting any pictures of a bare chested Ted Kennedy.... for now.
Bad, both of you.
I was always told a handful is perfect.
I guess it all depends on the size of your hands then.
Not the sort of thing one likes to accept on faith. Give me evidence of the senses!
;-)
I was going to say that this thread needs pics, but then I changed my mind...
