[Cathryn Crawford]

One of the reasons there is a higher rate of breast cancer in women who abort (whether naturally or induced) is because the tissue of the breast changes so much during preganancy. When an abortion occurs, the tissue has not gone through the entire process (which should naturally end in breastfeeding), and so there is tissue left in "limbo", which has a higher rate of turning cancerous.

The rate is quite high and should certianly be a factor when a woman is making the decision to have an abortion.

Breast cancer is also higher for women that do not breast feed. Probably because the natural process is interupted.

Woman are also emotionally getting ready to be a mother, when this is interupted by abortion, or miscarriage it can cause serious emotional drama like depression, or in some cases denial, and hardness of heart.
