Pro-Life Ping
Getting excited about cancer is pretty creepy
So much for “health of the woman.”
This information has been denied and suppressed by Planned Parenthood for years.
Yep!
Cool...
Countries don’t get breast cancer, women do. Unless the breast cancer in these countries afflicts women who’ve had abortions disproportionately - a point which the report seems to evade making - the most we have here is evidence of some cultural factor leading to both abortions and breast cancer.
Delayed child bearing was previously known to impact breast cancer risk.
Correlation does not imply or prove causation.

Women have the right to know that 28 out of 37 worldwide studies have independently linked induced abortion with breast cancer. Thirteen out of fifteen studies conducted on American women report increased risk. Seventeen studies are statistically significant, sixteen of which found increased risk. Almost all of the studies have been conducted by abortion-supporters.
The incidence of breast cancer increased by 0.3 percent, (or 211,000 cases) per year from 1987 to 2002. According to Professor Joel Brind, the president of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, “Abortion is an elective surgical procedure and a woman’s exposure to the hormones of early pregnancy -- if it is interrupted -- is so great, that just one interrupted pregnancy is enough to make a significant difference in her risk”
Because American women already face a high lifetime risk of developing breast cancer of about 12.5 percent, boosting that risk by even a small percentage through the procurement of a single induced abortion is comparable to the risk of lung cancer from longterm heavy smoking.
Jane Orient, M.D., a spokeswoman for the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, said, “If you look at the number of studies that show a connection, they vastly outnumber the ones that don’t, and the ones that don’t have been criticized for serious methodological flaws.”
She also reported that “the elevated risk is substantial, particularly in women who abort their first pregnancy at a young age and who have a family history of breast cancer.”
She added, “I think (doctors) should inform patients about this,” and the information “should include the potential connection with breast cancer as well as the long-term psychological risk.” According to the American Cancer Society: “Much of the long-term underlying increase among women is due to historical patterns, such as delayed child-bearing and having fewer children.”
As David Ripley of Idahoans for Life points out, “abortion is by far the most significant change that has occurred in reproductive patterns in the United States.”
Our congratulations go to West Virginia for joining six other states, Louisiana, Kansas, Texas, Mississippi, Montana and Minnesota, in passing informed consent laws concerning the abortion/breast cancer link!
The West Virginia law mandates that information on the breast cancer/abortion link be given to women who are considering abortions. It even requires specific language in the printed materials that reads as follows: “Breast Cancer: Studies show that women who have children before age 30 have a lower risk of breast cancer than those who have children later in life or no children at all.
Findings from other studies suggest an increased risk of breast cancer among women who had one or more abortions.”
On an important political note, it should be pointed out that West Virginia’s Legislature is led by and composed of a large Democratic Party majority. The well-documented link between abortion and breast cancer should be a nonpartisan issue. Unfortunately, some are more interested in catering to the powerful abortion industry lobby than they are in clear science and women’s health.
Would miscarriages, which are also early terminators of pregnancies, tend to have the same effect?
As we were warned, the wages of sin is death.
I’m curious... could a natural miscarriage increase one’s chances of breast cancer?
Correlation does not prove causation.
Sorry, it simply doesn’t.
Amen. This comes days after every network newscast had among its top stories the study about the link of alcohol to breast cancer. But when I saw this thread, I said to myself, "It's gotta be from LifeSiteNews.com -- no MSM outlet would dare."
Sooo...abortions are running up my insurance premiums, eh?
Well, I don’t have to stand for that. If my smoking is your business, then your excessive sexual immaturity and the related costs it passes on to my is ...my business, isn’t it?
