Dear Friends:

Marissa Zeppieri is a journalist with The Good News of Florida who is appalled that women aren't being warned about the link between abortion and increased breast cancer risk. Her story, "Is there a link between abortion and breast cancer?" is featured on the front page of the October issue of the newspaper during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The newspaper boasts that it has 90,000 copies in circulation every month, so thanks to Ms. Zeppieri and her editors, Florida may be among the few states in the nation where women are not kept in the dark about the facts during Breast Cancer Exploitation (I mean,  "Awareness") Month.

You can find a link to the news article below, but first, I have just one clarification to make. Second trimester miscarriages (like abortions and premature births before 32 weeks gestation) increase breast cancer risk. Most first trimester miscarriages do not increase risk.

The former increase risk because the breasts grow under the influence of increased levels of pregnancy hormones that stimulate cancer-susceptible breast lobules to multiply and leave the breasts with more places for cancers to start.

Most first trimester miscarriages, however, are abnormal pregnancies with insufficient levels of pregnancy hormones. These pregnancies do not change the structure of the breasts or stimulate breast growth because of the low hormonal levels. That is why women often say after a miscarriage that they didn't "feel" pregnant. Their breasts didn't grow and weren't sore and tender; and they didn't feel nauseous.

Please read Ms. Zeppieri's article using the links below.
