Cancer Death Reductions Could Be Greater if Women Told Abortion Link

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A representative of a woman's group that educates people about the link between abortion and breast cancer says that news of a lowering the number of cancer deaths would be better if women had been told about the link. The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer says there would be fewer deaths to report.

The organization points to a new report from the American Cancer Society that cancer deaths declined slightly in 2003 and 2004.

But Karen Malec, the head of the Coalition, told LifeNews.com "There would be fewer cancer cases and deaths if women had been told the truth in the 1980s when conclusive evidence became available" about the abortion-breast cancer link.

She said studies at that time pointed to the association between breast cancer and abortion as well as hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives.

The new ACS report said it expects 40,460 female deaths due to breast cancer and 240,510 total breast cancer cases for 2007.

However, it continues to mislead women about the abortion-breast cancer link saying "Several studies have provided very strong data that induced abortions have no overall effect on the risk of breast cancer."

Yet, Malec points to a scientific review in 2005 that concluded the studies ACS mentions are seriously flawed and cannot be used to dismiss the larger body of evidence supporting an abortion-breast cancer link.

No scientist has challenged these conclusions, she told LifeNews.com in a statement.

She pointed to research from Baruch College professor Dr. Joel Brind, who is one of the leading scientists examining the data. Brind has found that having an induced abortion leaves a woman with a higher long-term risk of breast cancer, compared to carrying the pregnancy to term.

"We call on the Society and other cancer businesses to put their priorities in order," said Malec. "Women's lives and cancer prevention are more important than making money, doing cancer walks, and protecting the abortion and pharmaceutical industries."

She indicated that more abortions means more cancer cases and also condemned the Susan G. Komen Foundation for its donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars to Planned Parenthood, which is the nation's leading abortion business.

"It's unthinkable that groups that claim to want to eradicate the disease would help fund a cancer-causing organization, especially when the funds could be directed to legitimate health organizations," Malec said.

Anyone who holds a position and believes that smoking is not a cause of lung cancer should have their knowledge, intelligence, and commentary on all other subjects questioned. In fact, they should be placed into the same kook camp as the 9/11 truthers.

My opinion is coming from the scripture Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I am a female that believes that abortion is appropriate for women of rape,incest, and the mother’s health. However, I believe that God forgives anyone for what they do the gift of God a baby and Christ came to forgive. Women who are young need to be taught the consequences of sin. When we sin Romans 10:9,10 tells us we must confess with our mouth Jesus, and believe in our hearts & these beautiful women can be forgiven for their mistakes. God came to help us because noone is perfect. Now with saying all that we have to understand that all kinds of consequences can occur such as cancer. Like an eye for an eye and a life for a life. I’m not saying this as fact. I’m just using logic that karen might be on to something of truth. It would be smart to listen and consider this may be true. Only God, the person who gets cancer knows whether they feel the consequences of their abortion. However there is forgiveness through the cross. Advise others that are in this situation to ask God. Please use wisdom. Evaluate your life ask forgiveness and find eternal life with the comforter who will forgive and help. I see so many young women without this knowledge. I support Karen Malec.
