Karen Malec of the Coalition on
Abortion/Breast Cancer tells the studies conducted in
France and China between 2009-2011 confirm that breast cancer cases are
related to the number of abortions a woman has. The authors examined
information on disease diagnosis, demographics, medical history, and reproductive
characteristics of the patients involved. They also looked at a number of
other factors.
"There have been 71 studies
now that have been published, epidemiological studies showing a statistical
relationship between having an abortion and having an increased breast cancer
risk," Malec notes.
Even so, she says, most women
remain uninformed about it because many cancer-related not-for-profit
organizations look the other way.
"They are ignoring it, and
they're misrepresenting the research," the pro-lifer laments. "It's
simply not good for fundraising to tell women that their abortions may be
responsible for their breast cancers. It's a very emotional issue."
At the same time, the standard
medical text shows that childbearing protects women because it has a
significant defensive effect. Dr. Joel Brind, a professor at Baruch College in
New York City, has compiled a statistical review of previous studies confirming
the link between abortion and breast cancer, and the French and Chinese studies
of late tend to confirm his findings.
