The process of implantation does not begin until the end of the first week after fertilization. EC has its effect well before the process of implantation has even begun. Women from Africa, Asia and Latin America have identified reproductive health as a major concern in their lives. They are very clear that reproductive health needs cannot be separated from other essential needs such as education and other health concerns, and that all of these needs are equally important. We believe in a holistic approach to women s lives in which all aspects of their lives are addressed, with the ultimate goal of achieving full gender equality and equity.
Abortion causes breast cancer.
In 1997, a study published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine concluded that induced abortions have no overall effect on the risk of breast cancer. This definitive study was the result of research involving 1.5 million Danish women. Previous studies that have suggested a link between induced abortions and breast cancer have been proven to be flawed. These flaws resulted from the fact that women with recent diagnoses of breast cancer are more forthcoming about their abortion histories than women without breast cancer, thereby leading to an erroneous conclusion about an association between induced abortion and breast cancer. The above-mentioned Danish study avoided this bias.
