The Tragic Truth About Breast Cancer and Abortion (Especially before Age 18 and after 30)
CBN News ^ | May 1, 2002 | Gailon Totheroh

There is a clear biological connection between abortion and beast cancer.

Here's how it happens:

1. The hormone estrogen causes milk-producing tissue in the breast to grow

2. If this tissue is immature when exposed to large amounts of estrogen, it more readily turns cancerous

3. In pregnancy, there is lots of estrogen, but a full-term pregnancy casues the tissue to mature and resist cancer.

4. An abortion stops the process of maturing the milk producing cells, leaving them vulnerable.

5.That combines with growth producing estrogen-especially from the high levels of pregnancy before the abortion-to promote abnormal cell growth and cancer.

For instance, the female body seems to have larger numbers of immature breast cells before age 18 and after age 30.

And this fits in with breat cancer risk because we know that women who have abortions before age 18 and after age 30 have the highest rates of breast cancer.

Estimates have the number of new cases of breat cancer from abortion increasing from 10,000 a year to 50,000-this may be the most unpreported story out there...

Wouldn't this also apply to miscarriage and tramautic death of the fetus (caused by accident for example)?

Most miscarriages result from low estrogen anyway, so that exempts them from danger..

The Most Reliable Medical Study Shows No Association Between Induced Abortion and Breast Cancer

The largest and most valid study of the alleged link between breast cancer and induced abortion concluded that induced abortion has no overall effect on the risk of breast cancer. The Melbye study, reported in 1997, is considered the most accurate and informative study to date because of its particularly sound methodology: it involved a very large study group and was free from reporting bias. The study relied on data about all women born in Denmark over several decades, which was collected from Denmark’s National Registry of Induced Abortions and the Danish Cancer Registry.

Does not apply to miscarriage, as the body has a way of handling it NORMALLY. As for a traumatic event - God holds the answer.

If this was any medical procedure other than the Supreme Court's Sacred Cow, there would be billions of dollars of lawsuits filed (and settled) already. Remember what happened when it was merely suggested that breast implants cause autoimmune disease?

Litigation against abortionists (as much as I hate litigation!) may be the only break the courts might allow to curb the killing.

Then again, maybe not.

Abortion and birth control pills both do a number on the female hormonal system. Years from now we will see that they are the real cause of the increase in the breast cancer rates, because the increase in cancer rates mirror the increase in the use of both forms of birth control. Will we then ask the feminists why they, collectively, shoved them down our throats?

It really bugs me when a doctor refers to a miscarriage as 'an abortion'.
That insensitivity leads to unnecessary guilt on the part of the mom.

I have a friend who died of breast cancer about two years ago. At the time she died, I had never even heard of the abortion-breast cancer link. After she died, someone told me she had had an abortion a long time ago. We can't talk about it because her grown kids don't know about the abortion. So there you have it. Women are dying right and left. The shame and secrecy surrounding abortion makes it more difficult. But the main problem is that the abortion industry wants to keep women in the dark so the money keeps rolling in. It's SICKENING!!! Thanks for your post.

From what I can tell, the Danish skewed the results by testing all age groups and throwing them together and averaging the numbers.

Me thinks you would get a vastly different result if only women who have had mulitple abortions pre 18 years and post 30 years were considered.

That bugs me, too!! They call a miscarriage a "spontaneous abortion". Some of the studies of the abortion-breast cancer link got screwed up because they lumped spontaneous abortion and induced abortion together. Actually, from what I understand, a miscarriage may even have a protective effect. But anyway you look at it, ABORTION STINKS and can lead to the dread killer disease of breast cancer.

Is somebody forcing you, or anybody else for that matter, to have abortions or take birth control pills?

Yeah, everything is a conspiracy to increase abortionist paychecks. sure yeah they've got the American Cancer Society in their pocket as well. You know the official ACS position is that there is no breast cancer abortion link.

Where's my tinfoil hat?

American Cancer Society:

Induced abortion: A large, recent study from Denmark has provided very strong data that induced abortions have no overall effect on the risk of breast cancer. Also, there is no evidence of a direct relationship between breast cancer and spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) in most of the studies that have been published.

It's not underreported. It's ignored because its wrong.

Even the Republican pro-life judge in San Diego who tossed that case last month said it was a bunch of hooey, had no basis in science, and was not even admissible as evidence.

Stand on your faith - - but don't resort to pseudoscience propaganda.
