Dear Friends:
Yesterday, NewsMax.com published a story by Sylvia Hubbard entitled, "Study: Abortion Fueling Cancer Epidemic." (A link to the story is provided after this message.)
Hubbard's story discusses Patrick Carroll's ecological study in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.jpands.org) that discusses the breast cancer epidemic. Using national data from eight European nations, Carroll, an actuary and statistician, found that abortion is the "best predictor" of breast cancer trends and fertility is the second best predictor of these trends.
The story by NewsMax.com shows that American Cancer Society's experts have become quite skilled at the art of delivering carefully nuanced statements about the ABC link. Frequently, it's experts will "pass the buck" by suggesting that the U.S. National Cancer Institute's 2003 workshop (a political sham) found no link between abortion and breast cancer.
The Society's epidemiologist Michael Thun was one of the principal speakers/moderators at that sham workshop that conned so many American women into believing that abortion does not raise breast cancer risk.
Thun told NewsMax.com that the ABC link is something that opponents of abortion publicize. The implication is that he is a proponent of abortion. (Should we be surprised?)
Women who are earnestly seeking information about the ABC link from the American Cancer Society should be aware that they must first become practiced at reading between the lines.
Thun is careful not to deny the ABC link. He never explicitly states that the ABC link is non-existent. Thun told NewsMax.com:
“This is an issue that opponents of [abortion] have been publicizing and making claims about for at least twenty years. This is an epidemiological study and is considered weak because it has no information on individual behavior, just national behavior."
Professor Joel Brind of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute explained that the type of research that Carroll conducted is a necessary component in establishing proof that the link really exists, but by itself it is insufficient to establish conclusive proof. He told the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer that:
"As an ecological study, it is a necessary but not sufficient component of proof. Suppose you show a reproducible connection in a record-linked study, and it makes biological sense. That's what's considered the "strong" evidence. However, even if you have that, but, with a common exposure (abortion) and a common disease (breast cancer), it doesn't show up in the overall statistics, your "proof" goes "poof". What Carroll's work shows (as did Remennick's work in the USSR and Howe et al in the 2001 JNCI Annual report the nation on the status of cancer) is the increase in breast cancer that is expected to result from the ABC link, if it is real. And obviously, it is."
Jane Orient, MD, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, told NewsMax.com that the abortion-breast cancer (ABC) link "makes a lot of biologic sense." She points out that many doctors "don't want to confront" the ABC link because of fears of massive medical practice lawsuits.
Hubbard's article does not say so, but Carroll discussed his findings in an article he wrote for a British insurance magazine last month called The Actuary. He advised insurance actuaries to adjust their insurance premiums and company reserves to plan for an expected 50.9% increase in breast cancers for Engand and Wales by 2029. He encouraged health care providers to start planning treatment facilities now in order to cope with the increased incidence.
Perhaps someone should ask Michael Thun why the editors of The Actuary would publish a "politically motivated" article in their magazine for insurance professionals. Has he tested their ideology to determine if they are politically incorrect "opponents of abortion"? The abortion industry and its many allies in the cancer establishment will need to come up with a better "spin" to explain away the ABC link.
