BREAST CANCER - ABORT ON LINK PRO-LIFE FICTION OR PRO-ABORTION COVERUP?

A 1989 New York State Department of Health study of 1,451 upstate and Long Island women who developed breast cancer between 1976 and 1980 before age 40 showed a significant 90% increase among women who had ever had any abortions and a signifi- cant 300% risk increase among women with two consecutive abortions.

13 out of 14 studies since 1957 show more breast cancer among American women who chose abortion (27 of 33 studies worldwide)

A Los Angeles study (1 981) found a significant 2-4 times higher incidence of breast cancer among women under 33 years of age who aborted their first baby.

A Howard University study (1 993) showed that African-American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had an abortion compared to women who had not had an abortion.

Breast Cancer and Abortion-The Biology The type of female sex hormone called estrogen is the most potent stimulator of breast cell growth. In fact, the actions of most known*risk factors for breast cancer are attribut- able to some form of estrogen overexposure. Abortion interrupts the natural process of breast development, leaving the breast with more cells that can become cancerous. Extra estrogen of pregnancy causes cells to proliferate. Third trimester hormones of a full-term pregancy turn cells into milk-producing cells and turn off their growth (and can- cer-forming) potential.

What you can do about the breast cancermabortion link Prevention is the best cure-be informed before you "choose." If you had an abortion, discuss this with your doctor for your breast health care. Advocate for additional definitive research to elucidate causes of breast cancer and for full disclosure of information on the breast cancer-abortion link.
