Is there a rock solid connection between breast cancer and abortion? If so, I wish this would enter the conciousness of Americans. Hopefully it would add even more gravity to a women's decision to end her childs life by abortion.

Is there a rock solid connection between breast cancer and abortion?

In a word: No.

Much as I (a rabid pro-lifer) would love for this to be the case, there is no clearly defined link between abortion and breast cancer. You can even check out the studies at the ABC site to see for yourself.

It's a case of our side doing what the left is famous for--skewing statistics to make our point. The real truth that there is actually a DECREASED risk of breast cancer that comes with childbirth.

Childless women (those who have never been pregnant), women who have had natural miscarriages, and women who have aborted all have a statistically similar risk of breast cancer. Women who give birth (and especially those who breastfeed) have a lower risk than each of those groups.

So, if you choose to abort your preborn baby, in addition to ending an innocent life, you are denying yourself a natural decrease in your lifetime risk for breast cancer. But you aren't increasing your risk above the level you already face as a childless female.

Yes, about 50% of cases in America can be caused by abortion. Another part is cased by miscarriages and by hormonal "therapies". The rest is much less than half.

The mechanism is a sudden disruption of rapid development of cells which are to produce milk.

Probably not rock solid evidence, but a far more convincing case than global warming or secondary tobacco smoke science.

Imagine a day twenty or so years from now when a Republican trial lawyer files a trillion dollar class action lawsuit on behalf of breast cancer victims against Planned Parenthood, NOW, the DNC and the whole abortion industry.
