The October 29, 1994 edition of the Los Angeles Times reports in an article entitled, "Induced Abortion Hikes Breast Cancer Risk, Study Says", that, "an induced abortion raises a woman's risk of developing breast cancer by age 45 at least 50%, and by three times that if she is under 18 when the abortion occurs, according to a large new study by Seattle epidemiologists" The article further notes that, "the risk was higher still if the pregnancy had proceeded beyond eight weeks or if the women had a family history of breast cancer. Women who were over 30 at the time of an abortion had a 110% increase in risk."
Breast cancer has risen to epidemic proportions in the U.S. The same Times article points out, "an estimated 182,000 American women develop breast cancer each year, with 46,000 dying of it - making it the second most deadly form of cancer in women, after lung cancer." The exact cause of breast cancer is still unknown but induced abortion could very well be the most avoidable of all breast cancer risks. Other risks include: early age of menarche, late age at menopause, not having children, having the first child late in life, socioeconomic status and consumption of dietary fats.
Despite a huge body of mounting evidence, the abortion industry, and even the American Cancer Society continue to work hard to discredit all the evidence which links abortion to breast cancer.
