Dear Friends:

It saddens me to have to say this, but no organization on earth could ever hope to survive on the amount of money that was donated to the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer during the last two months.  I am literally begging you now to either send a check or make a credit card donation by clicking on this link:  http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/support/index.htm

Every donation helps!

As you know, our primary focus is not to make money, but to prevent breast cancer and save lives.  Although there is no money to be made by preventing the disease, we believe that prevention should have priority over "finding a cure."  This is especially true when the vast majority of patients are already being cured through chemotherapy, surgery and radiation.

We recognize the importance of conducting research on breast cancer, but research would not be quite so urgent if cancer fundraising businesses had taken pains to educate women about breast cancer prevention when the evidence became available in the 1980s (or earlier, in some cases). That would include the risks of abortion and using female anabolic sex steroids (i.e., hormonal contraceptives and combined hormone replacement therapy).

The abortion rate has declined in recent years, and the abortion industry's leaders are not at all happy about it. One way to increase the abortion rate is to conduct an all-out attack against crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), which educate expectant mothers about the risks of abortion. 

The industry's leaders are determined that expectant mothers will be kept ignorant of all risks of abortion including breast cancer, premature birth, infertility, depression and suicide. 

CBS, Time Magazine, the Palm Beach Post and others have published reports in recent months that were critical of the CPCs.  In the Oregon Senate, a bill has been introduced requiring the state to conduct an investigation of CPCs. 

Was it not Pope John Paul II who warned us in the encyclical Evangelium Vitae that a "kind of 'conspiracy against life'" has been "unleashed"?

The problem is that our efforts to educate expectant mothers about the risks of abortion are bad for the abortion industry's business!  The CPCs rely on our expertise; and they purchase and distribute our brochures, which inform expectant mothers that:

1) Childlessness, small family size, late first full term pregnancy, and little or no breastfeeding increase breast cancer risk substantially - a recognized risk of abortion;

2) Eight medical groups agree that abortion further raises breast cancer risk by increasing the number of cancer-vulnerable lobules in the breasts;

3) Combined oral contraceptives and combined hormone replacement therapy are accepted risk factors for breast cancer; and

4) Abortion raises the risk of having a subsequent premature birth, which increases the risk of cerebral palsy for the child and breast cancer for the mother.

We must decide, as a society, how important it is to us to save the next generation from the ravages of breast cancer and to prevent our children's children from being brain damaged, as a result of cerebral palsy.  What will our children say about our generation in years to come if we don't protect them now from the purveyors of sex? 

Won't you please rise to the challenge and help us protect our youth - the future of our country?  Send a Lenten donation to us today by visiting:
