I occasionally read about the link between abortions and breast cancer, but wondered why a bigger deal isn’t made of it. Aren’t women and women’s groups concerned about this? (Hat tip: Renee from Utah)
This story is rather alarming to me.
Abortion-breast cancer link covered up by scientists?
Researcher says ‘pro-choice’ bias has hidden deadly risks to women
A pioneer researcher into the connection between abortion and breast cancer says an overwhelming amount of evidence collected in nearly 50 years of studies demonstrating a conclusive link has been systematically covered up by biased scientists, government agencies and the news media using fraudulent data to deceive women about potentially life-and-death decisions.
Joel Brind, a Ph.D. and professor of human biology and endocrinology at Baruch College, City University of New York and president of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, has authored a paper for the National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly refuting several recent studies downplaying the abortion-breast cancer link.
In particular, Brind cites a widely noticed paper published by Valerie Beral and four other Oxford University scientists in The Lancet in 2004 and statements of the National Cancer Institute in 2003.
The Beral study finding was unequivocal: “Pregnancies that end as a spontaneous or induced abortion do not increase a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer.” The NCI has stated on its website since 2003 “having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman’s subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.”
“The trouble is, to accept this conclusion, one needs to dismiss almost half a century’s worth of data which do show a significant link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer,” writes Brind.
Brind says “denial of the ABC link has become the party line of all major governmental agencies (including the World Health Organization), mainstream medical associations (including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) and the most prestigious medical journals (including the New England Journal of Medicine).”
