Women’s Group Laments Deaths of Thousands 

January 22nd, 2002

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, an international women’s group lamented the suffering and deaths of thousands of women resulting from breast cancer induced by abortion and abortifacients and condemned the complicity of foundations and billionaires contributing to the population control cause. Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, breast cancer rates have sky rocketed 40% in the U.S., while the incidence of all other cancers has declined. Breast cancer has become the primary cause of cancer death among middle aged American women. 

Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, said, “We urge the media to save women’s lives by spreading the truth about the research. If 28 out of 37 studies published over the last 45 years have linked breast cancer with an optional procedure, then shouldn’t women be told about it? Women who’ve either had abortions or used abortifacients are being denied the opportunity to take steps to reduce their risks for the disease by having children, breast feeding, using risk reduction drugs like tamoxifen or raloxifene, exercising, choosing a low fat diet and avoiding alcohol and hormonal contraceptives. They’re being denied the opportunity to be properly screened for the disease because they’ve not been fully informed about the scientific research. Parents are being denied the opportunity to protect their pregnant adolescents.” 

The studies implicating abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer are listed on the coalition’s website at <www.AbortionBreastCancer.com>. 

It’s been calculated that among American women an additional 5,000 to 10,000 cases of breast cancer directly attributable to induced abortion were diagnosed in the last year. It’s been conservatively estimated that by the year 2020 an additional 40,000 to 50,000 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed which are due to induced abortion. 

In his book, Breast Cancer: Its Link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill, Pennsylvania internist, Chris Kahlenborn, MD, cites research linking the use of abortifacient drugs with increased risk of breast cancer.

Medical experts universally acknowledge that childbirth, breast feeding and early first full term pregnancy reduce a woman’s risk for the disease. 

Mrs. Malec said, “With the breast cancer rates sky rocketing, why are abortion and use of abortifacients being aggressively promoted?” Mrs. Malec concluded, “Population control is a big business. Some day, women may associate the names of the biggest backers of population control with the worldwide increase in the incidence of breast cancer.” 

Major backers of population control efforts include: U.S. taxpayers, the Hewlett Foundation, the Packard Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, Ted Turner and Warren Buffet. The Life Research Institute which publishes Human Life Reports reported in August, 2000 that foundations gave grants totaling $128.5 million for family planning in 1997. Planned Parenthood’s 1999-2000 annual report states that $187,300,000 of its income is derived from government grants. 

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women’s organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.
