Scientists, women's groups, and the media have consistently suppressed or ignored research that establishes a direct link between abortion and breast cancer for their own political purposes. Further, women considering abortion are not given true informed consent about the real risks of the procedure as a result of withholding this evidence.
At least 49 studies demonstrate a statistically significant increase in premature births or low birth weight with prior induced abortion. Several studies conducted as early as 1957 show the link was suppressed or ignored.
I posted an earlier article on this topic, and the Christian Medical Society associate director commented:
While not all studies confirm a causal link, there is growing and alarming data to suggest that elective abortion increases a woman's chance for breast cancer. Sadly, personal bias and political agendas too often overshadow a critical review. For now, I believe there is sufficient data to make this an issue of informed consent, public awareness and research priority.
