There are at least 24 published studies that have suggested a link between early abortion or miscarriage and breast cancer. Further, the studies revealed, the greater the number of abortions or miscarriages, the higher the risk of breast cancer. Indeed the abortion rate skyrocketed during this time within much of the Soviet Union. No one knows exactly why abortion apparently increases the risk of breast cancer. Some researchers think that by abruptly halting the increase in hormonal activity causing cells to reproduce in the breast during early pregnancy, abortion puts them at risk to divide uncontrollably.
Uncontrolled division is, of course, what cancer is about.
It is scandalous because it is placing countless women at possible risk of getting breast cancer. Yet this should not surprise us. Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights organizations steadfastly refuse to reveal the physical and emotional risks of the RU-486 abortion drug. They refuse as well to support any tightening in health and safety regulations on abortion clinics, including proposals that would allow women to see which abortion facilities have particularly bad health and safety records. Unmarried teenage girls who are pregnant are urged in the strongest terms possible to opt for abortion.
