The Q&A format is very reader friendly.
There is a Breast Cancer epidemic in the USA, and this book explains why and how.
National Cancer Institute Must Tell Women That Abortion & Breast Cancer Are Linked
Each October, we acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a noble and worthy endeavor to raise awareness of this dread disease and how it affects the women we love and their families.
We have indeed made great strides against this disease in all areas: etiology, early detection, and treatment.
However, the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) pro-abortion political correcting of honestly assessing all areas of causality undercuts the effectiveness of October’s activities, and leaves millions of women at needless increased risk. Specifically, we need to consider the risks associated with oral contraceptive (OC) use, and abortion.
At my blog, I have been analyzing the peer reviewed scientific and medical literature showing the association between OC use, abortion and breast cancer.
For a half-century now, well over a hundred studies have indicated a link between abortion and breast cancer, with increased risks being upward of 50% for abortions before a first full-term pregnancy, with many showing increased risks above 100%.
The biological explanation for this
link is very simple and has been demonstrated repeatedly in animal
studies. Prior to a first full term pregnancy a woman’s breasts are not
fully developed, with her lobules made up of immature and cancer-prone
Type 1 and Type 2 cells. When she conceives a child, estrogen levels
rise dramatically, along with the pregnancy hormone HCG, which stimulate
the lobules to undergo massive cell proliferation, roughly doubling in
number.
These first trimester events leave the woman with twice as many cells where cancer can start.
At the end of the second trimester, the baby begins to protect the
mother by secreting the hormone human placental lactogen. This hormone
matures the lobule cells into cancer-resistant Type 4 cells, which will
produce milk. By the end of the pregnancy 85% of the lobule cells will
have undergone this differentiation. The remaining 15% will undergo
differentiation to Type 4 Cells during breastfeeding and subsequent
pregnancies.
As animal studies bear out, if pregnancy is ended by abortion the woman
is left with twice as many immature, cancer-prone cells where cancer can
start, but she does not derive the protective effect of the third
trimester.
Oral Contraceptives work by the same mechanism of stimulating cell
proliferation, without the protective effect of a full term pregnancy.
It is simple, elegant, and devastating.
Women who miscarry have abnormally low hormonal levels, and in all
studies are shown to be at NO increased risk of developing breast
cancer.
So where does this political correcting at NCI come from?
Pro-abortion feminist researchers in and associated with the National
Cancer Institute convened a panel in 2003 to craft a denial of their own
research showing the abortion/breast cancer (ABC) link. Their dismissal
of the data was founded on the absurd notion that women with breast
cancer are more apt to recall and truthfully report their prior
abortions during detailed health histories in research studies than
healthy women in the control groups of these studies. This phenomenon is
alternately dubbed “recall bias” and “reporting bias”.
Such preposterous thinking is in contravention to the denial that
accompanies such devastating disease. If anything, the reverse would be
true. However, these researchers suggested that the only valid studies
would be those that start in the present and move forward over time.
These are known as prospective studies, and are thought to be
advantageous over their retrospective counterparts.
But as my ongoing analysis of these studies indicates, these prospective
studies are often conducted and funded by the same pro-abortion folks
who denied the validity of their own published retrospective studies.
These prospective studies, which have purportedly shown no recall bias,
are so methodologically flawed, deliberately so, as to literally violate
the scientific process.
In the biggest prospective study to allegedly show no ABC link, the
Melbye study, the authors began counting breast cancer cases in 1967,
but didn’t start a consideration of abortions before 1973.
This puts the
cases of disease six years before the suspected exposure to the
potential cancer-producing cause.
I would fail an undergraduate biology
student on a research project for making such an obvious blunder. But
this is the best study to which the pro-aborts point. But even Melbye’s
studies indicate a 3% rise in risk of breast cancer for every week a
woman waits to have an abortion, until at 18 weeks gestation her risk
rises to 89%.
Further, when Melbye studied premature births, it was found that breast
cancer risks are elevated in women who deliver before 32 weeks at the
same levels that the retrospective studies establish for women who have
induced abortions.
Melbye notes the loss of protective effect in these
cases of premature delivery.
What Melbye refuses to admit is that the
sudden end of pregnancy, through either induced abortion or premature
birth, are equivalent biological events where the risk of breast cancer
is concerned.
So we [are progressing] through another Breast Cancer Awareness Month
where the pro-abortion gang at NCI has conspired to keep the whole truth
about risk factors from women, including their chief epidemiologist’s
(Dr. Louise Brinton) own paper last year which indicates that women who
begin OC use before age 18 are at 540% increased risk of developing the
most aggressive and deadly form of breast cancer, triple negative breast
cancer.
One wonders why there is not near hysteria in the media over such a
catastrophic correlation, especially when Planned Parenthood dispenses
OCs to teens as though they were M&Ms.
It remains for the pro-life community to patiently bring these scientific truths forward.
The only force more ruthless and uncaring than the pro-abortion crew at NCI is nature.
The laws of physiology and disease are coldly unforgiving of ignorance,
political correctness, and willful disobedience. Dr. Louise Brinton and
her handpicked coterie of abortion enthusiasts have betrayed women,
betrayed scientific integrity, and betrayed their duty to the truth by
politically driven machination.
Having dug in their heels, we must simply maneuver around them and take the lead.
