Abortion and Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is almost at epidemic levels. The risk of breast cancer among the general population of women is now close to 12%. That means 12 out of every 100 women in this country will get breast cancer. For women who have never had children it is closer to 20%. And for those who have had no children and also have one or more abortions it's closer to 50%. If you have a family history of breast cancer (mother, aunt, grandmother or sister) and have an early abortion at a young age, your chances of getting breast cancer before age 45 are increased 800%! This means that you are eight times more likely to get breast cancer than if you didn't have any of these factors. This was the result of research funded by the American Cancer Institute in 1994. There have been numerous studies and research for breast cancer that indicate having an abortion increases your risk of breast cancer. Unfortunately, no legislation has been passed to end a procedure that has been shown in many studies to increase breast cancer risks by more than 400%. That procedure is known as abortion. Abortion rates and Breast Cancer rates are linked. When abortion rates were low, breast cancer rates where low. When abortio
In September 1995 Louisiana became the first U.S. state to require abortion clinics to inform potential patients that performing abortions may increase breast cancer risks. In no other state (or in Canada) are women warned that there is even a possibility of a link between abortion and breast cancer. n rates are high, breast cancer rates are high. This does not prove that abortion causes breast cancer but it makes it a likely candidate. Other factors could have also increased the number of people with breast cancer. Many studies have shown the link between abortion and breast cancer like in 1981 a Los Angeles study found a significant 2-4 more cases of breast cancer among women under 33 years of age who aborted their first baby. In 1993, a Howard University study 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 abortions. In 1994 a National Cancer Institute study of over 1,800 women in Washington State found a 50 percent increased risk among women who had abortions. The risk was more than double for women whose first abortion took place before age 18 or over age 30.
