Women wrongly warned cancer, abortion tied Women seeking abortions in Mississippi must first sign a form indicating they've been told abortion can increase their risk of breast cancer. They aren't told that scientific reviews have concluded there is no such risk. Joel Brind, a biochemist at Baruch College in New York who advises the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, noted that a woman's chances of getting breast cancer go down if she gives birth at a relatively young age. He reasons that those who opt for abortion are giving up a chance of reducing their breast cancer risk. Therefore, he says, abortion increases the risk of cancer. Wouldn't it be more honest and direct to simply warn women seeking abortions that they risk beiing damned to burn in hellfire forever? Isn't this the group that used to tell boys that masturbation and blindness are linked? 5:02:37 PM    comment []
