  • I am an oncology nurse in a Catholic hospital, and I can tell you that plenty of women who are prolife and never had an abortion develop breast cancer, and many die of it. It is terrible to try to use breast cancer as a weapon in your abortion battle. What kind of message does this send to cancer patients? I am disgusted by this shameless manipulation.

  • So, what you're saying here is that ABSTINENCE increases a young woman's risk of breast cancer, isn't that correct?

  • Am.Cancer society: As of 2010, scientific evidence does NOT support the notion that induced abortion raises the risk of breast cancer or any other cancers .....MAYO CLINIC website:< “There's no credible evidence of a link between induced abortion & cancer “...............PROLIFE LIES

  • @stingingnettles yes, like wise a good comment. Or,there are other parents who cannot have children and would adopt.

  • @mediaphotographer You know, you have a good point. Increasing your risk of breast cancer by 50% (as women do when they don't have babies before the age of 20), might be worth it, in order to ensure that children have two parents, mothers are educated and employed, as well as mature. In fact, it might even be worth having an ABORTION if a woman can't offer her potential child a stable home. Thanks for the insights, mediaphotographer!

  • @stingingnettles At What age 10,12 13? Why don't you encourage the young women to get a daddy 1st, Get MARRIED, get an EDUCATION ,get a JOB, PLAN FOR A FAMILY (novel idea) experience life then have kids?

  • @itsinthenet Of course not. But that's because the risks associated with smoking cigarettes are REAL! Women should be told about the known, proven risk factors for breast cancer. Not the fake ones that are used for disingenuous manipulation .

  • @BreastCancerUpdate If you really want to save lives, than you should be encouraging teenage girls to have babies before they turn 20, since that has a SIGNIFICANT impact on their breast cancer risk!! Are you doing that? Or are you encouraging teen girls to be abstinent?

  • @FannyFlair True, and plenty of people who have never smoked will get lung cancer and die from it. Does that mean we should stop telling people about the risks of lung cancer associated with smoking?

  • @stingingnettles No, I definitely do NOT relish the idea of anybody getting a horrible disease such as breast cancer. My goal is to inform people that there is indeed alot of research linking abortion to elevated breast cancer risk. I believe women should be informed of this research when they are deciding whether or not to abort because all patients have the right to know ALL risk associated with a procedure that are considering. My goal is to save lives not to delight in others misfortune.

  • @BreastCancerUpdate Woo woo, it's all a conspiracy! Postponing or avoiding childbearing is a risk factor for breast cancer. Whether childbirth is avoided by abstinence or by abortion makes no difference. Sorry to disappoint you -- it's sadly obvious that you relish the idea that women who have had abortions are punished with breast cancer.

  • Cite your sources! Journal of Crankass Scientific Whackjobs (JCSW); apparently, the uterus is actually a wandering organism in the featured issue.
