so if i never get pregnant, then I don't get these same advantages too??

so not getting pregnant increases you chnces of getting breast cancer??

wouldn't it be correct to say, pregnancy helpos in reducing breast cancer, not abortions cause brest cancer??

---

Yes, of course it is just as correct to say that pregnancy helps to reduce breast cancer, but they did put their own little spin on it. Doesn't make it wrong, just makes it propanganda.

And yes, there is some evidence that not getting pregnant (at least by the time you are 35, I think) can increase your risk of breast cancer.

Sorry...the scientist in me made us digress from the actual topic of the post...

No, they don't. I'm sure the testing that 'said otherwise' was funded by an antichoice organization or three. Ugh.

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women's organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.

Got to love the propganda to make women regret their hard decisions in life, and make them feel to blame.

Horrible!!!

Medical experts and others have independently leveled serious charges of impropriety against the NCI in recent years even accusing the once respected agency of concealing evidence of environmental and occupational causes of cancer. [3] Since 1957, NCI officials have used heavy-handed means to cover up extensive evidence of a second way abortion raises breast cancer risk, which exists independently of the protective effect of childbearing. Although the agency provided at least partial funding for most of the American studies, taxpayers have not been informed that 13 out of 16 studies report risk elevations.

I know. Kind of makes you question the 35 and older rule. All those selfish business women who want to put off having a family until their 30's - it's gonna give them breast cancer.

Just wanted to say, my mom is a breast cancer survivor! Yay!

That is so great!!!! I am so glad your mom is a survivor. .

My friends mother died of breast cancer, and it had to be the worst thing for her to ever have to go thru. I couldn't imagine having to go thru it.

Mary Davenport, M.D., an obstetrician/gynecologist in private practice in California, authored an article for The American Thinker entitled, 'The Breast Cancer Whitewash.' In it, she provides a scathing criticism of 'the beltway scientists who control the NCI (U.S. National Cancer Institute). She repeated the allegation of international expert and endocrinologist Joel Brind, PhD that 'other researchers believe in the ABC link, but are politically intimidated from speaking up because of NCI control over their funding.' She says, 'The ABC cover-up has been systematic, deliberate and disgraceful. The behavior of many medical organizations and publications has been timid, afraid to confront NCI and reproductive health establishment gurus. Heads need to roll.'

We agree that the behavior of the NCI's corrupt leaders has been criminal. Heads do need to roll. The Bush Administration needs to thoroughly clean house.

The Illinois Leader's article, 'Women's Group Condemns Docs for Hiding Abortion-Breast Cancer Risks,' discusses our press release last week slamming the Minnesota Medical Association for falsely claiming there is a consensus in the medical community that abortion does not raise breast cancer risk.

Read these articles and be sure to send them both to your friends in Minnesota.

Sincerely,

That's amazing!!! to your Mom!!!

Why is this important? Breast cancer is the most common cause of death of women in their 40's. One in eight women will develop breast cancer. Women need to have all the information and make up their own minds about their life choices, not be spoon-fed politically manipulated statistics and incomplete data.



Parents need to have all relevant information to help their daughters make the best decisions in the event of an unintended teen pregnancy. Currently, parental notification legislation is on the books, or soon to be on the ballots, in a number of states. In one of NCI's own studies (originally created to help disprove the ABC link) 100% of teenagers who had a family history of breast cancer and had induced abortions later developed pre-menopausal breast cancer, which is usually more virulent than the post-menopausal variety. This information is such a hot potato that it is ignored in the abstract of the article ( see Daling et. al., 1994), and has never been dealt with or explained away.

Thank goodness for the courts and the internet, which allow information to circulate beyond the control of the politicized abortion advocates, who have grabbed control of much of the official apparatus of scientific medical inquiry. And thanks also to state government officials in Minnesota and Texas who are more concerned about women's lives than succumbing to current medical standards of political correctness.
