I have one simple question for everybody: Why are PP and the other pro-abortion groups AFRAID to tell women, "Some studies show a link between induced abortion and breast cancer"?

I have even a better question: Please Ms. Duffy, speculate if you will, how many women who have already shown up at Planned Parenthood seeking an abortion would change their minds because several studies show a link between having and abortion and a 30% greater chance of getting breast cancer? Of course, we can not really know unless PP is doing it, but please 'O Wise one, speculate for us.

People KNOW that smoking cigarettes INCREASES your chances for lung cancer, yet millions still do it and start doing it. Unfortunately, for those who have seriously considered and abotion to the point that they go to PP to have one, I would think that the selfish reasons to kill their unborn child would outweigh any chance of having a 30% higher likelihood of getting breast cancer.

Wow, you are hard on women, pal. Yes, I agree, many women will go ahead and have an abortion even with knowing there's an increased risk of developing breast cancer. That's not the point. Women have a right to know ALL the facts in order to make an INFORMED decision. And by the way lots of people have stopped smoking or never started because they now know the TRUTH about it. In addition, for those women who are already at risk for developing breast cancer (for example, if there's a history of it in the family), they probably would NOT want to exaccerbate the risk factors. Got it? For victory & freedom!!!

Well then, according to your logic, doctors should have no obligation to obtain informed consent under any circumstances.
