Perhaps it is you who is being disingenous.

Are your pro-life, btw?

Yes I am pro life, but all this health hysteria makes me nuts.

And it makes us look like fools. This is not going to change any woman's mind but a paranoid one.

We cannot latch onto a poor argument just because we like the outcome.

Why is this such a big deal?

For Dr. Lanfranchi, I think the big deal is that because of politics, any sort of link between breast cancer and abortion is squashed -- because of political reasons.

She found out that her patients with histories of abortions were getting breast cancer. It is really for her to answer, not me, why she became such an activist...

Interesting. Your post led me to think about the drugs women get to dry up their milk ducts when they do not choose to breast feed. Wondering if there's been any studies done on that angle?

"How many abortions have you had?"

Some of the women in my family have had to go to the hospital for surgery. In the interview, they were automatically asked, "How many abortions have you had?"

I think the question is posed so bluntly because some women would say "no" if the they were asked, "Have you had an abortion?" even if they did have an abortion. Maybe the unpublicized psychology for murdering an unborn child is to block it out completely. "I had a miscarriage," might be the other response.

The women in my family were quite shocked when they were asked such a cold question...even by female hospital staff. Femininity and the "care" part of "Health Care" seems to have died in the medical industry if this is how patients are surveyed.

Your initial risk is so low that even a five to ten fold increase only raises your risk to 10-15%.

But women should be told the truth about this, don't you agree?

This is not going to change any woman's mind but a paranoid one. >>

it's not about changing a woman's mind, it' about bias in the media, the agenda in schools where a guidance counselor, could, in the long run, by driving a school girl to get an abortion, CAUSE her breast cancer in the future. I've heard Dr. lanfranchi talk at conferences, she's a breast surgeon and has seen girls in their 20's die of breast cancer, which is something most doctors never saw before roe v. wade. The press, AMA, schools, etc. are covering up the facts while promoting their demonic agenda.

I am not even aware of the drug. In general, I believe what is natural is good, and unnatural is bad, ... for the body.

If all the folks here are just as worked up over all breast cancer risks, sure.

But would a study that found childbirth caused uterine cancer get as much play?

I don't like seeing science used for political purposes and I think folks in general get way too excited over cancer links.

As we saw in the news just the other day, lots of these health stories turn out not to have basis years down the road.

But even if the risk is four fold, or ten fold, which it is not--this article says 50%--A woman aged 45 with an abortion and no family history only has at most a 15% risk.

Using the 50% figure it's only 2.25%.

Family history is the single biggest factor in breast cancer.

Having a few drinks every week raises your risk more than an abortion.

You're right it is morally wrong--but you know what? Some women in this post Roe world would probably have that poor baby instead of taking ANY risk that they might lose their breasts. That is so sickening. The pro-life protesters ought to carry around signs shouting, "SAVE YOUR BREASTS!!!"
You bet your a## it would probably shut those aboruarys down for lack of busines. Vanity of vanities

Well, if the risk were really high, I might agree.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

The evidence that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer is pretty damning. What is also odious is that many in the media and gov't don't want people to know.

Abortion is, after all, the cornerstone of feminism, the left, the Democratic Party, and the rejection of sexual morality. Take away abortion, and the house of cards falls down. Think about it - all the above are based on the freedom to murder the most helpless of all.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
