Yep; that's pretty much it. But the scientific evidence is actually on our side. No kidding. LOL!
Thanks for saying that. And this from an engineer . . . hummmm. For victory & freedom!!!
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.
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.
1) Melbyes 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.
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.
I suppose you don't take any of those man-made medicines, ehy?

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.
