I am pro-life but this is total bull.

To the body, JUST THE BODY, NOT THE SOUL HERE!!!, whether a new pregnancy ends from induced abortion or a natural miscarriage, the situation is identical.

To say that abortion causes breast cancer is wholly irresponsible and cruel, because you are condemning many innocent women who suffer miscarriages, sometimes repeatedly, to undue mental suffering. They’ve lost their precious baby, and now you hit them with these breast cancer risks??

You make your true argument against abortion look STUPID. Don’t have one because it could lead to breast cancer??? What?? Your original argument that it is killing a baby wasn’t satisfying enough to you??

This is wrong, anyway. Women get pregnant and lose the embryo all the time. Their period is a little late. Yet they lost a pregnancy. Plenty of women miscarry in the first trimester, with every hormonal shock an abortion would give.

Drop this argument.

I don’t know about the abortion breast cancer link. But studies have shown that there is a big difference between a spontaneous abortion and an induced abortion. A spontaneous abortion occurs due to a breakdown in the body or the baby, both of which triggers particular chemical reactions. Everything is turned off internally which leads to the delivery of the baby. Even when a dnc is necessary, it is simply finishing the job that started naturally.

An induced abortion is entirely unnatural and involved forcing the body to abruptly change horomones and chemicals that it naturally would not. The growing breast tissue is suddenly deprived of the horomones it was expecting and not due to natural causes. It’s this abrupt forcing of an unnatural change that is believed to lead to the cells being susceptible to cancer.

I don’t know if there is link between abortion and breast cancer. I do know that if there was a link established tomorrow I would not be concerned even though I have miscarried. Something broken down in my body and it was handled as the body is built to handle it. Just as my other pregnancies have been handled naturally and resulted in babies. It’s the unnatural actions that are believed to be the risk.

Research shows that that spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) in the first trimester have no effect on breast cancer risk. (Breast Cancer: Risks and Prevention, 4th Edition, Lanfranchi and Brind, 2007) Approximately 23% of all conceptions end in spontaneous abortions and approximately 90% of these miscarriages take place in the first trimester.

Have you done any actual research on this topic or are you simply emoting?

“To say that abortion causes breast cancer is wholly irresponsible and cruel, “

...sometimes the clinical truth is cruel. facts are simply facts. there have been MANY MANY studies done, including one recently in Portugal, that show the correlation is many orders of magnitude higher than for factors like “second-hand smoke”.

(and further, i have seen some research, that shows a difference between miscarriage and abortion. even if that seems too convenient...)

So cruel or not, it is simply the truth, that many women have died from cancer, BECAUSE they had an abortion. Has nothing to do with God, is simply medical fact. Well-known, but unreported by our liberal media.
