Dear Friends:
Kudos to John Pisciotta and his colleagues in Waco, Texas for putting up a billboard that informs women that the breast cancer group Susan G. Komen for the Cure, defeats its mission to eradicate breast cancer by giving funds to Planned Parenthood. A link to a photograph of the billboard is provided at the end of this message.
Kudos also to Jill Stanek. On Tuesday, March 25, 2008, she reported on the Waco billboard in her blog at: http://www.jillstanek.com.
The Waco billboard clearly struck a nerve with abortion enthusiasts at the Waco Tribune-Herald. Its journalists were so displeased with Pisciotta's group's attempt to save women's lives by warning about the cancer risk that they published an editorial on March 23, 2008 entitled, "Specious links."
The editorial basically told women not to pay any attention to the billboard because the American Cancer Society "calls the claim false." Perhaps these journalists don't know that it took the Society 32 years after the publication of the first study on the tobacco-cancer link before it came out in full recognition of cigarette smoking as the primary cause of lung cancer.
The newspaper did not inform women about a paper in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons earlier this month that accused federal agencies, academicians and cancer groups of suppressing evidence of two breast cancer risks - oral contraceptives and abortion. [Lanfranchi, A. (Spring 2008). Available at:

But journalists are capable of recognizing one simple, but undeniable truth. If as the Society says, a first full term pregnancy at an early age provides a considerable reduction in breast cancer risk, then the logical conclusion is that the childless woman who aborts her pregnancy has a greater breast cancer risk than does the one who has a baby.
Why does the woman who aborts have a higher risk? The longer she delays a first full term pregnancy, the longer she delays the maturation of 85% of her breast lobules from cancer-susceptible Type 1 and 2 lobules to cancer-resistant Type 4 lobules. Maturation does not take place until the last months of full term pregnancy.
Remarkably, the editorial goes on to suggest that it is untrue that the Komen-Planned Parenthood relationship is about giving money for abortion. They claim that Komen's gifts go toward breast cancer screenings. How would they know the money isn't being used for abortion without conducting an audit? Corporations that give to Planned Parenthood have been using that phony excuse for decades.
It is irrelevant what purpose the money has. What is relevant is that Planned Parenthood is an abortion provider, and its employees have no respect for human life. If an individual does not care about the child's life, he or she is not likely to care about the mother's life either. As a seller of abortion and hormonal contraceptives, Planned Parenthood is a primary cause of the breast cancer epidemic. For these two reasons, Komen should be called upon to withdraw its support for the abortion provider.
There is just one question remaining. Why didn't the Waco Herald Tribune inform women about research published last year showing that abortion is the "best predictor" of future breast cancer rates in eight European nations? [Carroll, P.

You will note that the billboard advertises the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer's website.
