Chinese, Turkish Researchers Find Significant Link Between Breast Cancer and Abortion

Chinese researchers claim to have found a 17 percent increased breast cancer risk among women who have had induced abortions.

Peng Xing and other researchers in the Department of Oncology at the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University enrolled in their study 1,417 patients diagnosed with breast cancer and 1,587 women without a prior breast cancer.

The researchers’ findings indicated that induced abortion increased a woman’s risk of breast cancer by a “statistically significant” rate of 17 percent.

A  Turkish study published earlier this year reported a 66 percent increased breast cancer risk among women who have had abortions.

Karen Malec, CABC president, said the Chinese and Turkish studies are relevant to the debate in the U.S. over government-funded abortion.

“Government-funded abortion means more dead American women from breast cancer,” she charged.

Breast Cancer Link with Abortion and Hormonal Contraceptives Featured in You Tube Videos
October 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two videos confronting the disinformation about the link between the skyrocketing incidence of breast cancer, and abortion and hormonal contraceptive use have been posted to You Tube.

The first video, produced by Ignatius Productions, features a victim of breast cancer, who states that abortion and hormonal contraceptive use at a young age destroyed her health. She says she is fighting desperately to beat the disease so she can raise her children. (see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2KrbM5x2kk)

The second video, produced by Ends of the Earth Productions, features Karly Houldsworth, who reports findings in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute showing that breast cancer rates climbed more than 40% between 1973 and 1998. The increase took place only in the youngest of three generations of women studied - the Roe v. Wade generation - which suffered a more than 40% increase in breast cancer cases since the mid-1980s. These were women young enough to have had access to legal abortions starting in 1973. The increase in breast cancer rates didn't take place among women from the two older generations that couldn't obtain legal abortions. (link to video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj41i6dXPTY)

Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, said in a press release that the videos expose the cover-up of two breast cancer risks - abortion and hormonal contraceptives (containing estrogen and progestin) - and reveal the cruel impact that the cover-up has had on women.

"Cancer groups lied to women about the risks of using combined (estrogen + progestin) hormone replacement therapy and 'the pill' when conclusive evidence of a breast cancer risk became available in the 1980s," said Malec, "and they are still lying about abortion." http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/oct/09100109.html

Wha...? I thought Comrade Obama told us while stumping for Planned Parenthood that Abortion is good for women? The Church has told us for 100 years now that artificial contraception is sinful - and it turns out that pill may be deadly.

Be pro-choice. Choose... breast cancer. D'oh!

[Greta]

There is also links with the use of contraceptives and breast cancer.

Well they should make the sterilization procedure more readily available, of course for Planned Murderhood killing babies is more profitable than preventing conception. All you need is a shack off a back alley, and a blood thirsty doctor " If you take a hypocratic oath how can you perform this procedure? Also let us not forget the reasons for the start of Planned Parenthood was started as a back door genocide/population control for non-whites.

Meet Margaret Sanger
Founder of Planned Parenthood

Margaret Sanger, the alcoholic and Demerol addict, who spawned the International Planned Parenthood Federation, was a proponent of forced eugenics, segregation, abortion, birth control and sexual immorality. Here are some of her quotes.

"The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…"
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"The unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' [is] the greatest present menace to civilization… the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"The campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the final aims of eugenics."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying… a dead weight of human waste… an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"The procreation of [the diseased, the feeble-minded and paupers] should be stopped."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social order..."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"[Our objective is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children..."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"[Mandatory] sterilization for [the insane and feeble-minded] is the answer."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

"Give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the American Baby Code that states, "No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child… without a permit for parenthood".

Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the Population Congress with the aim, "...to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization."

"As we celebrate the 100th birthday of Margaret Sanger, our outrageous and our courageous leader, we will probably find a number of areas in which we may find more about Margaret Sanger than we thought we wanted to know..."
Faye Wattleton, Past-president of Planned Parenthood

How could abortion possibly cause breast cancer?

[Amy Proctor]

Michael E., an increase of hormones occurs with conception and it continues throughout the gestation of the pregnancy. That severe drop in hormones is what causes post-partum depression in many women when the baby is born. The hormones used to support the baby are suddenly not needed.

Abortion is an artificial, intrusionary end to the natural hormonal process. Since there have been studies that link birth control pills, which are hormones in a pill used to supress ovulation and the possibility of conception, as well hormone replacement therapy, which replaces estrogen (hormones) lost due to menopause,to breast cancer, it isn't hard to make the connection between the hormone activity resulting from abortions and breast cancer, also found in patients who take hormone replacement therapy.

Women who take hormone replacement therapy know they are at greater risk for breast cancer, it's just part of the package, but many take the risk because hot flashes are just too much of a nusance. What happens with hormones relates to cancer risk.

The Turkish study you site (Ozmen et al.) reports a decrease in breast cancer risk from oral contraceptives and HRT.
Ozmen's hospital based survey is vulnerable to many types of selection bias, so these results (as well as the abortion link) are highly questionable. Ozmen acknowledges this.

Xing's methods look like they're better (haven't read the paper) but it's also case-control, which is inherently inferior to a well-done cohort study. Having not read the paper, I'm not sure what non-political reason there is for preferring this to the American cohort studies already done.
