Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer states that
"in a 1986 letter to the British journal Lancet, government scientists acknowledged that 'Induced abortion before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer.' Instead of informing women, the cancer establishment chose to cover it up by using seriously flawed research to discredit the link. Now women are paying with their lives," she argues.
What is perhaps less known among the general public is the fact that hormonal birth control can sometimes cause a fertilized egg to fail to implant in the lining of the uterus--thus causing an early abortion.
It seems that easy and convenient access to sex is becoming more important than women's lives. I wonder what the current state of artificial birth control would be right now if the lives of men were similarly at risk...
Wow, most contraceptives treat fertility as a disease. People need to remember that women are supposed to be fertile!
