Dear
Friends: Please
continue to call your U.S. Senators
on Thursday and Friday this week. Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced
his healthcare bill last night. Like the phony the Capps Amendment from
the
House debate, Reid's bill provides for federal funding of abortion
through a public option and directs federal funds to private insurance
carriers
that provide coverage for abortion (pp. 116-124). Tell
your
Senators
government-funded
abortion means more dead American women from breast
cancer. Abortion
is
responsible
for 1.5
million extra breast cancer cases since abortion became legally
accessible
in 1973. Because the mortality rate has averaged 20% since 1973, it's
fair to
say that 300,000 women died from breast cancer because of
abortion
(based on 50 million abortions, a 30% average increase in risk from
abortion,
and a 10% lifetime risk for the average American woman without
abortion). Ask
your
Senators
who support
the abortion mandate in Reid's bill why they don't care if women die.

these links to Chinese and Turkish studies
published in 2009 that show statistically significant increases in
breast
cancer risk (17% and 66% respectively) for women who have abortions.
Send them
a link to Dr. Angela Lanfranchi's study discussing the biological
reasons
for an abortion-breast cancer link: 1.
