Dirty Secret About Breast Cancer-Abortion Link Pro-Aborts Don't Want Out

National Selective Awareness Month
Yes we can!(cer)!

For those of you scratching your heads as to the recent surplus of pink in your town, October is officially the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Some quick facts: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women worldwide and the most common cause of cancer death in U.S. women aged 20 to 59 years. Each year in the United States, approximately 211,000 women develop breast cancer and more than 47,000 (20%) do so before the age of 50 years. Approximately two in 15 American women are expected to develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and nearly 40,000 U.S. women die of the disease annually.

These are some heavy statistics, and in light of the facts, breast cancer really does warrant the degree of concern that it generates in our communities. However, this month isn't entirely all it's cracked up to be. See, when they called it "awareness" month, you might think that what they meant was "awareness". Here's the deal. There is a wealth of life-saving, medically sound information that women are being deliberately left very much unaware of. And it's all censored in the name of politics and liberal ideology from the party that pretends to care deeply for women.

A study by Patrick Carroll published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons on October 2, 2007 demonstrated that abortion is the "best predictor of breast cancer."

It has long been established that a woman who has an abortion is left with more cancer-vulnerable cells than she had before she ever became pregnant. Biological evidence and more than two dozen studies worldwide support a cause and effect relationship. Fifteen studies were conducted on American women, and 13 of them reported risk elevations. Seven found a more than twofold elevation in risk. Seventeen are statistically significant, 16 of which demonstrated a positive association. (By the way skeptics, the term "statistical significance" means that scientists are at least 95% certain that their findings are not due to chance or error.)

Conclusive worldwide epidemiological studies show an increased risk of breast cancer of approximately 30% among women who have had an abortion. With one out of every six women in America undergoing a surgical abortion at some point in their lives, and 47% having multiple abortions, this might be good information to make women "aware" of during this month of breast cancer "awareness", wouldn't you say?

If you go to the official National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) website and type in "abortion" on the websites search engine, you get a page stating, "Sorry but there were no results for your search term."

When perusing the "Risk factors of breast cancer FAQ", (also without a single reference to abortion) the website then urges you to seek more information for your unanswered questions on cancer.org. Having done so and searching the term "abortion", you find that the topic of the abortion and breast cancer link is nonchalantly dismissed with the excuse that it's not worth focusing on because, "Linking these 2 topics creates a great deal of emotion and debate."

So let me get this straight... it's okay if hordes of us women die to breast cancer, just as long as our sensitive, feminine hearts aren't stirred to excess emotion in the process? What a joke. Someone needs to inform these guys that ignorance isn't always bliss when you're slowly dying from a self-induced malignant tumor.

Women have the right to know about the abortion-breast cancer research. In fact, putting the morality of abortion aside, it's blatantly anti-choice that women have been prevented from making informed decisions about this women's health issue. Breast cancer groups violate their mission to "eradicate breast cancer" when they withhold life-saving information about risk factors for the disease. So why would they do it?
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the close ties of multiple breast cancer groups with abortion providers and supporters, could it? Why would groups like Susan G. Komen for the Cure give roughly half a million dollars a year to abortion provider and breast cancer producer, Planned Parenthood, then publish the truth about abortion causing cancer? Telling women the truth about their health risks would hurt political ties. And it would appear that politics far outweigh the rights of women to make informed health decisions.

Think about this: Nancy Goodman Brinker, Komen's founder and former U.S. ambassador to Hungary, sat on Planned Parenthood's advisory board in North Texas five years ago.
Cynthia Pearson, formerly a Colorado organizer for NARAL Pro-Choice America and currently the executive director of the National Women's Health Network, sits on the National Breast Cancer Coalition's board of directors.Barbara Brenner, Breast Cancer Action's leader, formerly sat on the American Civil Liberties Union's board. The ACLU's abortion advocacy is well known in the courts.If tobacco executives and asbestos manufacturers were board members at the American Lung Association, donors would be outraged and would question their credibility. Why are we tolerating this blatant conflict of interest? The tobacco-cancer link might never have been brought to the public's attention if tobacco's executives had done what abortion's feminists are doing now... sitting on the boards of cancer fundraising organizations.
So what, you might wonder, is Planned Parenthood doing with the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated from the hard work and labor of women seeking awareness for breast cancer? While the nation is diligently acknowledging October as the Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Planned Parenthood is busy observing October as their self-proclaimed "National Family Sexuality Month". While women nation-wide are participating in breast cancer walks, marches and fundraisers in the hopes of finding means to save the lives of their daughters and sisters and mothers, Planned Parenthood is occupied with holding events such as, "The Liberation of Women's Pleasure Through The Vibrator" and "Fantasy and Skin Hunger Training Seminars" that they claim are "family workshops" good for ages eight and up. Women are dying daily from abortion induced breast cancer, and yet promoting sexuality is a weightier issue in the minds of pro-choicers.

It would appear that Planned Parenthood is only pro-woman after first being pro-abortion. On the scale of importance, abortion comes first, women's health second. Or maybe women's health comes in third, after teaching second graders how to masturbate. I never can keep the liberal choice agenda straight.

If you look up "breast cancer" on Planned Parenthoods website, they encourage women to "get the facts" and to "not let fears and concerns get in the way of your health." How about not letting the fear of losing your annual income from abortion services get in the way of the health of the women you profess to care for? The website states, "Planned Parenthood is concerned above all with women's health and the risk factors for reproductive health problems." If this is truly the case, then why ignore conclusive and vital evidence that directly pertains to the development of breast cancer due to induced abortion? Stop viewing women as money producing machines that will sell you their "products of conception", and actually inform these precious individuals that they are putting themselves at risk!

Deceiving women on this issue is anti-woman and anti-choice. An editorial by a National Cancer Institute epidemiologist asserted that "a woman need not worry about the risk of breast cancer" when she contemplates an abortion... bless her ignorant, liberated little heart. I'm sorry, but regardless of being pro-life or pro-choice, all women undergoing abortion are entitled to full informed consent as to all risks involved in their decision.

The NBCAM website states that, "With breast cancer, education is empowerment." I completely agree. That's our cue, ladies. Let's spread the word. Attend a local breast cancer walk, fair, or event and distribute fliers with information on the abortion-breast cancer link. Get media attention. Be controversial! Write letters to fundraising organizations, stressing the importance of uncensored medical education pertaining to breast cancer. This issue is far too important to let anti-woman organizations like Planned Parenthood censor. I know the deep rooted political power of Planned Parenthood can be daunting, but to quote NBCAM on the importance of individual involvement, "Messages from real women can be just as powerful, if not more so."

So let's go raise awareness, shall we?
