Uber-liberal Marin County, Calif. has the highest rate of breast cancer in the USA. I used to think it was due to the liberal leanings towards veganism and overconsumption of soy but I wonder if it's due to the fact they're more likely to kill their own babies in the womb for convenience.
At various times and in various ways, the very things that lower a woman’s risk have been attacked. These include starting childbearing in the early 20s, having several children, and breastfeeding (the longer the better). As a first-time mom at age 21 in the early 1970s, I was avant garde by insisting on breastfeeding my child. Couldn’t have succeeded without La Leche League and a supportive husband. It had been out of vogue since the 1950s and then became chic again in the 1970s and 1980s. My point is that many of these risk-lowering practices are not encouraged these days by the culture and social mores.
