What about the increased risk of breast cancer in women who have abortions?

Scientists Claim No Abortion-Breast Cancer Link
Christine Hall
Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) - Scientists attending a recent National Cancer Institute (NCI) conference claim that there's no link between abortion and breast cancer, a conclusion that was met with skepticism by pro-life groups.

The scientists evaluated a number of studies on abortion and breast cancer, some as yet unpublished, and found that the most credible studies showed no causal link between breast cancer and abortion.

"I think it was fair, and it was balanced, and it reflected the science as it is today," said Barbara Vonderhaar, an NCI scientist who participated in the conference. "I can honestly say I think that they were the world's experts on the topic," she added.


Tell him that his little girl has a high chance of suffering from a serious infection or a perforated uterus due to a botched abortion,

One of the reasons we have abortion on demand is the horrible consequences of back alley abortions,
a much more common occurrence when abortion was illegal than botched abortions when it is legal.

BullSh!t…”back alley” abortions is propaganda and before Roe was RARELY done. It’s all about the inconvenience of living with the consequences of ones actions period.

True.

I don't know about this "no abortion-breast cancer link". I found a lot of information about this when I was researching this article; it all pointed to there being a definite link.

So are you saying we should use only moral arguments?

From The founder of NARAL - Bernard Nathanson M.D.(Whistleblower Mag. Jan 2003)

"Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure we constantly fed to the media as 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans, convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law."

Actually, that's one of the multiple lies put forth by the (very) profitable abortion industry.

The MD who testified before congress of many "thousands" of back alley abortions before Roe v. Wade, now freely admits he made the figure up from whole cloth--and neither he nor anyone else has any reliable method of knowing. Use your head, "back alley" means secret, so how can we possibly know very personal facts, purposely kept secret--at a time when statics weren't nearly what they are today. Let say though he was right....that indeed THOUSANDS of back alley abortions used to occur in pre-Roe times. Assuming even a large percentage of these were botched, still compared to the 1,400,000 abortions that America is responsible for every year... its very probable that the number of "botched" legal abortions today, even if relatively small, far exceed the total number of botched illegal abortions of yesteryear. Simple numbers--more women are very likely to suffer today, due to the much (much) higher number of babies whom modern America kills now, compared to then.

I find it sad and very sick that more people, religious or atheist or whatever, aren't more troubled about the huge numbers of Americans who willingly kill their offspring--their children--simply to cover up acts they are ashamed of, or simply for convenience. Such blood spilling is the real shame of our land.
