Freeper Sues Planned Parenthood

October is breast cancer awareness month. Did you know there's a LINK between abortion and breast cancer? The abortion industry doesn't want this information to be known. God forbid if women had all the facts; it would cut into their big fat PROFITS! Three of us California women are suing Planned Parenthood - not for money but for the truth. All we're asking is that Planned Parenthood tell women about this link. Evidence shows that women who have abortions, especially in their younger years, have a greater risk of developing breast cancer later in life. Thirteen out of fifteen U.S. studies show an increased risk of developing breast cancer in women who have had abortions.

Saundra, there's a link between pregnancy, onset of menses, number of births, age at first birth, breastfeeding, length of time breastfeeding, and age at which breastfeeding first occurred and breast cancer. ALL of these have stronger statistical links to breast cancer than abortion is alleged to have. If abortion could possibly have any link to breast cancer it would be for the same reason that breastfeeding for a shorter rather than longer time has a link to breast cancer: both get a woman back into the cycle of ovulation sooner. The greater a woman's total number of fertile cycles, the greater her chance of developing breast cancer. Abortion, though a bad thing for many other reasons, isn't adding a risk, it's merely interrupting the reduction of risk. Because of this, a woman who has had a mid-second trimester abortion would still suffer less risk of breast cancer, all else being equal, than a woman who has never given birth and has never breastfed. Face it, you're using something that's statistically not even substantiated for a political and moral purpose. Although your ultimate goals are to be praised, you still shouldn't abuse science. What you are doing is almost exactly equivalent both in methodology and tactics to what global warming advocates are doing with the greenhouse effect and CO2 (of course, in their case their end goal is nothing to be praised for). Lest you think to characterize me as being pro-abortion, I'll just say that I have written and posted some of the best anti-abortion pieces ever to have appeared on FreeRepublic.

I read your profile, and you are definitely Saundra "The Destroyer" Duffy! This is interesting because I have never heard of this link, although I volunteered back home for the American Cancer Society in the area of breast cancer. More alarming is that when a patient's profile is worked up, there are a series of questions regarding risk, and abortion is never one of them.

For Truth, Victory and Freedom for the unborn child!! God bless you Saundra!!Hang on like a bull dog ---it is worth the struggle.

Really? Could you source this fact, it'll be a valuable debate tool!

When science finally proves that a fetus is a human being beyond a all doubts, make sure we sue then too.

According to the government's own figures, breast cancer, all by itself - not including any other female specific cancers - receives more government funding than all male and childhood specific cancers combined. This does not include the benefit concerts, the big Hollywood names, the New York elite cocktail parties, the corporate tie-ins, or the breast cancer portion of the American Cancer Society funds.

It's big business, with the deepest pockets of all the "disease specific" charities. The battle to maintain this status quo will be fought fiercly and no quarter will be given to anyone who threatens to upset the apple cart.

Every Story has Two Sides.

It's all politics and fund raising.

Excuse me. I'm not in this all alone. A cancer researcher by the name of Dr. Joel Brind is the science behind this endeavor (among others). Science IS on our side. For victory & freedom!!!

Wow! How'd you do that? That's the first time I saw the court docket stuff. Thanks! You must be a legal whiz or something. For victory & freedom!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

All a pack of lies. I read that piece on Planned Parenthood's web site. They are LIARS and the FATHER OF ALL LIARS. For victory & freedom!!!

"The battle to maintain this status quo will be fought fiercly and no quarter will be given to anyone who threatens to upset the apple cart." Yeah, I know, but thanks for the warning. My training in various FreeRepublic.com battles will help me tremendously, no doubt. I've been in FR boot camp. For victory & freedom!!!

It might be interesting to know the suicide rate too. I've heard it was higher among women that had abortions.

"For Pete's Sake sue them for money. The way to cripple a business of death is to sue it."

mlmr is right - go for megabucks, they'll try to settle out of court and you can have a field day with publicity. When you win, turn around and donate the money to the pro-life charity of your choice (also great PR).
