The Actuary, a professional magazine for actuaries in the UK, has published an article in its November 2007 issue entitled, "The Breast Cancer Epidemic," about its impact on life and health insurance and health care industries in the UK.

The article was based on forecasts of breast cancer rates published last month in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.

In that article, Patrick Carroll, a statistician and actuary, showed that of 7 risk factors, abortion is the "best predictor" of breast cancer trends, and fertility is also a useful predictor.

Carroll used a mathematical model he successfully used previously to forecast breast cancer incidence to project a 50.9% increase in breast cancer in England and Wales by 2029. Other highlights:

1) The increasing rates of abortion and breast cancer run parallel and are highly correlated.

2) "Oestrogen (estrogen), progestin and other female hormones, whether naturally produced or administered medically, fuel breast cancer development," said Carroll.

There are 7 known risk breast cancer risk factors to explain the trend:

1. Abortion before a woman's first full term birth is "highly carcinogenic" because it leaves breast cells in a state of interrupted hormonal development in which they are more susceptible.

2. A low age at first birth is protective.

3. Childlessness increases the risk.

4. A large number of children increases protection.

5. Breastfeeding gives additional protection.

6. Hormonal contraceptives are conducive to breast cancer.

7. Hormone replacement therapy is conducive to breast cancer.

When you analyze #s 1-7, you see it appears that fighting a woman's biological and physiological make-up (i.e., the teachings of modern feminism) contributes to breast cancer.

There is no explanation other than willful ignorance to explain how normally reasonable people, who advocate protecting our natural environment and engaging in healthy lifestyles, would reject the link between abortion and breast cancer.

Even using simple logic based on on understanding of female biology and hormones aside from statistics would conclude the rationality of the ABC link.

An April 12, 2007 article by Stephanie Simon in the Los Angeles Times claimed that "national cancer experts" have found no link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer (ABC = "Abortion-Breast Cancer").

The truth:

29 out of 41 worldwide studies reveal an ABC link. (See ";The Abortion-Breast Cancer Link" by Angela Lanfranchi, MD, FACS)
"There are 17 statistically significant studies that show a link between abortion and breast cancer, 8 of which were conducted in the United States." ("Scientists must show with 95 percent certainty that the results in their studies could not have occurred by chance alone.") (emphasis mine) (From ";The Abortion-Breast Cancer Link" by Angela Lanfranchi, MD, FACS. A list of the 17 studies are in Dr. Lanfranchi's footnotes.)
"As of 2006, eight medical organizations recognize that abortion raises a woman's risk for breast cancer, independently of the risk of delaying the birth of a first child (a secondary effect that all experts already acknowledge). An additional medical organization, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, issued a statement in 2003 calling on doctors to inform patients about a 'highly plausible' relationship between abortion and breast cancer." (See AbortionBreastCancer.com) (emphasis mine)
It is "estimated that upwards of 10,000 cases of breast cancer each year presently, and up to over 25,000 per year in twenty or thirty years hence, are or will be attributable to induced abortion." (emphasis mine) (";The Abortion–Breast Cancer Connection" by Joel Brind)
Many abortion defenders point to a 2003 "workshop" conducted by the National Cancer Institute that denied the ABC link. However, the NCI meeting has been tagged as a "scam." Rather than seeking the truth, it was perceived that "eradicating the ABC link was really the sole purpose of the meeting." (Source) (See also these important notes from the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute.) Recent studies that assert an ABC link have also been found to be seriously flawed and deficient. (See here and here.)
From Stephanie Simon's article in the Los Angeles Times (emphasis mine):

Minnesota is also among several states that compel doctors to inform women that abortion may be linked to breast cancer, though national cancer experts have found no such connection.

The Times clearly owes its readers a correction.
In addition, this is the second time in recent months that Ms. Simon has stated her claim, even though we addressed the issue in this February 2007 NewsBusters post.

Soooooooo?

What's it gonna take?

When do we admit that maybe, just maybe, there is a connection between abortion and breast cancer?

More importantly, when are we going to admit that abortion providers have nothing to lose and everything to gain by denying it?

When do we admit that the abortion industry lies. Over and over and over again, because to tell the truth would cost $$$$$.
