In February 2017, the Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology published the “Epidemiology of breast cancer in Indian women.”
Malvia, et al. found that from 1982-2005, the incidence of breast cancer had almost doubled. Breast cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths in women in India. India’s burden of breast cancer is ever increasing and now impacting 1.5 million women a year.
Moreover women suffering from breast cancer were a decade younger than women in western countries. Most breast cancers in India occur in women in their 30s and 40s!
Link to abortion
In 2018, the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute funded and published “Induced Abortion as an Independent Risk Factor for Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Studies on South Asian Women” in Issues in Law and Medicine. (A meta-analysis looks at separate but similar studies in order to use the pooled data for statistical significance. It is regarded by scientists as very strong evidence.)
Of the 20 studies analyzed, 16 were done on Indian women. The meta-analysis found a 151% increased risk of breast cancer after an induced abortion.
In 2014, “Breast Cancer and Induced Abortion,” an analysis also published in Issues in Law and Medicine, revealed that the incidence of breast cancers increased 10-14 years after an abortion. This analysis was consistent with the known biology of breast cancer. There was no statistically significant increase in breast cancer risk before 10 years and after 14 years of an abortion.
Induced abortion in India, referred to as “Medical Termination of Pregnancy,” was legalized in 1971. Sons are most highly prized and sex selection abortions, although illegal, are not uncommon.

A study published in the Lancet 2006 and based on conservative assumptions, reported that the practice of sex-selection accounts for about a half million missing female births yearly. Over the past two decades this translates into the abortion of some 10 million female fetuses.
Of the 20 studies, 16 were of Indian women. The meta-analysis found a 151% increased risk of breast cancer after an induced abortion.

According to UNICEF, 27% of Indian women marry by the age of 18. Breast cancer in these young women cuts to the heart of the family leaving young children without mothers and husbands without wives.
In addition to the tragic loss of female unborn babies, sex selection abortion leads to abnormal male/female ratios, resulting in a disordered society of men without a spouse and many other regrettable social outcomes.
We can only hope and pray that education and changes of heart will lead to better outcomes for both women and men.

Women will see this and demand more money for breast cancer research, not putting an end to abortion.
If it were smoking causingthe increase, well, you know they would demand and end to smoking.
more $ for PP
abortions + prophylactic bilateral mastectomies
Wrong link
Scientific facts are sexist and demeaning to women. A woman cannot be free if she cannot murder her offspring.
New evidence?
The CDC has listed abortion as a class I carcinogen, right up there with cigarettes, for many years
You abruptly screw around with those hormones, estrogen and progesterone, and you expect no repercussions?
Total stupidity
When a woman is pregnant hormones are rushing through her body in preparation for the baby. The cells in the breast are opened to receive the correct hormones to prepare for lactation. These cells are closed naturally after the birth or natural miscarriage of the baby.
When a woman gets an abortion the hormonal mechanism that closes the breast tissue cells does not do its job. This leaves the breast tissue open and vulnerable to cancer.
Thanks for info. I will check it out tomorrow.
The New England Journal Of Medicine wrote that 20 years ago. They paid a price for that truth.
Bttt
The medical oligarchy has long rejected the notion that abortion can cause breast cancer.
I’m all for abortion if the kid gets equal chance. Flip the coin - heads kid lives parents die, tails they get to walk out. Otherwise there is no excuse.
Link does not go to article.
Thanks for posting.. i was unaware of the actual inner workings. Just like other sinful behavior there are deadly consequences. I wold likt to see the raw data
Yes. I have been following along over the years.
FYI! The University of California (!!!!) hospital in my city does late term abortions for no medical reason other than that the mother does not want the baby. I had a patient who had had an abortion at 24 weeks in our Univ of Calif hospital just because she and her boyfriend changed their minds. She had also had prior abortions.
Turns out the hospital started to do late term abortions because they needed the revenue!!
I cannot believe that the university of California has fallen so low. Never would have believed it. It’s like slavery. Such an awful disgrace.
Breast feeding is key to women’s health
No baby means higher risk of many things
This is NOT new evidence, these studies demonstrating the link between abortion and Breast cancer have been published for over 30 years, we get a new one every few years, they all say the same thing, Abortion leads to Breast Cancer.
Was just about to point it out. This is what the link leads to.
