URGES WOMEN TO RACE FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT

ABORTION/BREAST CANCER LINK


Clackamas, OR –  LIFE SUPPORT advises women to get all the facts about breast cancer prevention, and warns that the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s “Race for the Cure” is disserving women by withholding documented evidence of a preventable breast cancer risk  - Abortion. 

 

Of 37 worldwide studies reviewing the possibility of a link between abortion and breast cancer, 28 reported that it exists. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the National Physicians Center for Family Resources, Catholic Medical Association, American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Polycarp Research Institute, and the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute have all acknowledged a link between abortion and an increased risk for breast cancer.  And, the Race for the Cure does not warn women of these findings, and actually goes out of its way to deny women of the abortion/breast cancer link!

 

Recently, researchers examined Britain, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic for a statistical link between abortion and breast cancer. According to Dr. Joel Brind, professor of biology and endocrinology at the City University of New York, in the Journal of Epidemiology, changes in estrogen levels following abortions place women at an increased risk for developing breast cancer.

"In the early stages of pregnancy, there is a dramatic increase in the level of estrogen, the female sex hormone," Brind said in a statement. "This estrogen surge causes an increase in the number of breast cells in preparation for nursing, which is why a pregnant woman's breasts tend to swell."

"In the last eight weeks of a full-term pregnancy, other hormones cause the increased tissue to stabilize into milk producing cells, but at the early stage of rapid development, breast cells are in an undifferentiated and are highly vulnerable to mutations that can cause cancer."


Suzanne Brownlow, Communications Director of LIFE SUPPORT, says:  “Good women are participating in the Race for the Cure, hoping to fight against breast cancer.  It is indefensible that the abortion/breast cancer link has been censored from them!  Women have the right to know about the existence of the credible research and the Race for the Cure event should provide that.”
