If you add the involuntary miscarriages (which are not so rare) the main causes of breast cancer might be already found.
Regardless, none of these women would admit publicly to the first possibility. Denial is a very strong defense mechanism.
I think that such denial can be also present in the husbands, lovers, friends and family members who encouraged abortion.
Well, for one thing, it will publicise the studies showing a causal link between abortion and breast cancer, a topic that would otherwise remain closeted in a vault somewhere. My wife wants to know what the heck the big deal is?
It's my life's experience that anyone who would shred their offspring to a bloody pulp, and remain impenitant concerning the murder of their offspring, their conscience is seared and they have no qualms about lying or spinning things as may seem to be the most effective in getting them what they want or casting themselves in the best light in any given situation later on.
Would they lie? Bet on it!
So what? Another nitwit almost confirms your theory. That doesn't prove THOSE women were lying. Nor does it even prove it's a legitimate study.
The minute a woman gets the dreaded breast cancer, according to you and a few other imbeciles we're supposed to assume she's had a legal procedure YOU happen to disagree with....
Neither you or the Congressman have the knowledge or the right to assume these women or any woman with breast cancer is lying about having an abortion.
BTW, if the denial of abortions is so strong, how did a legitimate study conclude that women who've had abortions also contracted breast cancer?
Charm school graduate?
Would you care to share your vast medical experience with the group which qualifies you to discount over 40 years of medical research by scientists around the world producing 28 studies (last count) proving the link between abortion and breast cancer? Those of us with a medical background are anxiously awaiting your resume.
I saw a quote from one woman, who claimed to speak for the entire group.
And now that group represents most of his constituents?
We'll see about that when he's re-elected, won't we?
Sucking the brains out of a human baby is murder and ROE V WADE should be overturned. Pro-Life and proud of it!
How much more do they want? It is already funded at a rate greater than 600% over Prostate cancer yet the death rates are similar.Oh, I forgot, woman and children first and F&^K the men.
But why would anyone want to hear a congressman talk on medical / scientific issues?

Shoving abortion in their faces is likely to make them vote against Hostettler. He's an ass for not having any manners.
The "let's not offend anyone by talking about abortion and just hope abortion goes away on its own" tactic has been tried and it failed. This congressman made the courageous decision to say what needed to be said rather than merely say what his audience wanted to hear. It was his call and he chose principle over votes and I applaud him for it. What you call manners I call cowardice.
Are you kidding? Blocking abortion clinic entrances while yelling "murderers", waving pictures of fetuses in the faces of grade school children are what have been tried, and they've failed miserably. Now we've got congressmen subtly implying God-knows-what to a bunch of breast cancer survivors and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM had ever had an abortion!
I'm as pro-life as anyone on this board, but this kind of proselytizing is why pro-lifers are viewed as kooks.
And, as you know, nobody listens to a kook.
I disagree. I never cared about abortion either way until I saw some of those "pictures of fetuses" and found out what abortion really is. Sometimes the best cure for ignorance is being confronted with reality.
Now we've got congressmen subtly implying God-knows-what to a bunch of breast cancer survivors and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM had ever had an abortion!
The issue is how breast cancer research funds should be allocated. This is a perfectly acceptable topic for a congressman to discuss with anyone advocating federal funding for breast cancer research.
I'm as pro-life as anyone on this board...
You sure don't sound it.
...but this kind of proselytizing is why pro-lifers are viewed a kooks.
I don't view pro-lifers as kooks, but it sounds like you do.
And, as you know, nobody listens to a kook.
Oh, I don't know about that. After all, we're all listening to you. ;-)
