This question has been so politicized we may have a difficult time knowing the truth, as both sides push agendas.

Too bad. Science should be impartial, going wherever the data lead.

So, your case is that essentially the entire scientific and medical communities are all crazy or lying, and you and your fellow axe-grinders are [despite the absence of any dispositive supporting evidence] the sane ones.

Yep; that's pretty much it. But the scientific evidence is actually on our side. No kidding. LOL!

the facts, the population studies, and the theory of massive cell growth early in pregnancies (that are suddenly and violently affected by the hormone changes by abortion) all indicate the ABC relationship is valid.

Thanks for saying that. And this from an engineer . . . hummmm. For victory & freedom!!!

You're wrong. The meta-analysis was not flawed.

If you want to get into a DETAILED debate on this thread, I'll be happy to oblige. Fair disclosure: I am a statistician who works professionally in survey research, and have a Ph.D. in math.

What specifically was wrong with Dr. Joel Brind's meta-analysis, and can you provide a link to the "Denmark study" you refer to? If it is the one I am thinking of, please read this.

One scientific reason I have been told for the abortion--breast cancer think is what happens.

During pregnancy, the hormones of a woman/girl enlarge her breasts in anticipation of the unborn baby coming into the world.

When abortion occurs, the pregnancy is abonormally terminated -- suddenly stopping the flow of hormones.

It is the stopping of the hormones that causes a chemical imbalance in the woman/girl and encreases the risk of cancer.

So there is a scientific explanation of the "why" in the link between abortion and breast cancer.

The "biased media" will never tell you truth. Neither will NARAL, NOW, nor Planned Parenthood. They don't care about the woman/girl -- just about the politics of abortion.

Exactly. Thanks. It's just common sense. The natural process is better than the unnatural; in this case VIOLENT interruption of nature.

There are (at least) two problems with using the study you are refrring to. That study (by Dr. Melbye et al)had severe problems. And more importantly, it did find an increased risk of breast cancer due to abortion!

1) Melbye’s data actually pointed to a 44% increased risk of breast cancer due to abortion, but they never printed this result; 2) The follow-up period for the “cases” (ie, women who had an induced abortion) was less than 10 years, whereas it was over 20 years for the “controls” (ie, women who did not have an induced abortion). A follow-up period of less than 10 years is not long enough to show the effect of an abortion (ie, too short of a latent period); 3) Over 30,000 women in the study who had abortions were “misclassified” as not having them — thus 30,000 women were counted as not having abortions, when in fact they really had abortions; and 4) The study did note that women who had an abortion after the 12th week sustained a 38% increased risk of breast cancer, whereas women who had late-term abortions (ie, after 18 weeks) had a statistically significant increase of 89%. Both of these results received little media attention.

Thanks. You brought up the information I had read also. Does anyone have a link to the study that detailed how the hormones ending early lead to the breast cancer?

It was also noted that women who have multible miscarriages are at a higher risk, obviously, due to the same result of the early end of a pregnancy.

You can watch the NCI conference via streaming video. It's the Early Reproductive Events and Breast Cancer. Scroll down the page to find three day's worth of viewing.

There are two links:

http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com

and

http://www.prolifeinfo.org/upl2.html

The latter is not a study but an explanation why "aborting" the process is unhealthy for the body.

The first one, http://www.AbortionBreastCancer.com has multiple studies.
