Birth Control May Increase the Risk of Breast Cancer

Oral contraceptives increase the risk of breast cancer by an average of 44 percent in pre-menopausal women who took - or were taking - oral contraceptives (OCs) prior to their first pregnancy (as compared to women who had not used OCs), according to a comprehensive analysis of international studies conducted between 1980-2002, linking breast cancer and contraceptives. ["Oral Contraceptive Use as a Risk Factor for Pre-menopausal Breast Cancer: A Meta-analysis", published in the journal of the Mayo Clinic, October 2006]

Of the 23 studies examined, 21 showed an increased risk of breast cancer with OC use prior to a first pregnancy in pre-menopausal women. The study seems to reinforce the 2005 classification of oral contraception as a Type 1 carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) to humans by the International Agency for Cancer Research.

NARAL (pro-abortion) Bemoans Lack of Women Voters (Fall 2004) PDF Print E-mail

NARAL (pro-abortion) mailed voter registration forms to constituents to get them to vote, complaining that millions of women did not vote in 2000.

There are many “who did not cast their ballots…because they were aborted long before they reached voting age. According to the Alan Guttmacher Inst, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, 19,100,600 surgical abortions were reported from 1973-1986. The US Census Bureau records that 50.9% of births are female. This gives a total of 9,772,205 women, 18 years and older, who will never have an opportunity to cast a vote.

Perhaps NARAL would like to explain to their mailing list the reality of the impact that abortion has had on the number of women voters. ‘Choice’ becomes a hollow word when faced with such data.” [Jo Tolck, HLA Action News, Fall 2004]
