Dear Friends:
We are sharing with you four stories in our Abortion-Breast Cancer News Headlines (below) concerning the link between abortion and breast cancer. All but one discusses the latest findings from the study, Dolle et al. 2009, whose authors included National Cancer Institute branch chief Louise Brinton.
As our readers know, Jessica Dolle, Louise Brinton and their colleagues reported that "...abortion and oral contraceptive use were associated with increased breast cancer risk." The increased risk for an aggressive, deadly form of breast cancer - triple-negative breast cancer - among users of oral contraceptives was astounding. Users under age 18 multiply their risk by 3.7 times. Recent users within the last one to five years multiply their risk by 4.2 times.
Try finding a report concerning the study, Dolle et al. 2009, on the websites of the pro-hormonal steroids for women crowd. We could not find any mention of it. You know what groups I mean - those who talk a good talk about being "pro-woman" and "caring about women's health," like the Feminist Majority and the National Organization (supposedly) for Women.
We cannot find any mention of the study, Dolle et al. 2009, on the websites of the American Cancer Society (which downplays the link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer) and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Nor do they display the least concern about the U.S. National Cancer Institute's evident misconduct in covering up the abortion-breast cancer link at its infamous workshop in 2003.
Even though the agency's position on the abortion-breast cancer link is clearly at odds with its branch chief's (Louise Brinton's) position. Even though the agency's videocast shows that only studies showing no risk elevations for women with abortions were permitted to be examined at the workshop.
But wait, ladies! Be encouraged! Komen is teaming up with yet another new breast cancer foundation called the Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Foundation. And guess what! Together, they will "fight" triple-negative breast cancer and "find a cure" by raising funds for "breakthrough, life-saving research."
Research is necessary, but it would not be as necessary if they would just tell the truth about how to avoid highly carcinogenic exposures, such as abortion and use of oral contraceptives.
Our January 2010 press releases broke the news about the Dolle team's findings, and they generated many news stories about it. If you want us to continue our important work of protecting women's lives, then please send us a contribution today.
Don't forget to read the news stories below.
Sincerely,
