[Breitbart] In a press release last week, the American College of Pediatricians urged health care providers to educate young women about the strong link between abortion and breast cancer.
In 2013, Dr. Rebecca Johnson, a cancer specialist at Seattle Children's Hospital, released results of a study that demonstrated that the number of advanced breast cancer cases has increased among younger women, aged 25-39 years. After an analysis of 34 years worth of data from many countries, Johnson and her colleagues found that induced abortion was likely a causal--not correlational--risk factor for the development of breast cancer.
The pediatricians group also revisits the fact that studies from China, India, and Romania show incidence of breast cancer increasing as the number of abortions increase, with a "dose effect" demonstrating "an increasing risk of breast cancer with each subsequent abortion."
Recent College President Dr. Den Trumbull states, "When one considers the normal anatomy and physiology of the breast it becomes clear that this link is causal, not merely correlational." |
