And ... the Association of AmericanPhysicians and Surgeons Issued a
Statement In Support of Disclosing theEvidence
The Association of American Physicians andSurgeons believes that patients have the right to
give or withhold fully informed consent beforeundergoing medical treatment. This includesnotification of potential adverse effects. While there is adifference of medical opinion concerning the abortion
breast cancer link,there is a considerablevolume of evidence supporting thislink, which is, moreover, highlyplausible.We believe that a reasonable personwould want to be informed of the existence of thisevidence before making her decision."Jane Orient, M.D.,Executive Director, October 27, 2003

ABORTION RAISES BREASTCANCER RISK IN FOUR WAYS
By Causing the Mother to Lose the Risk-Reducing Effectof Childbearing (A Recognized Risk);
By Causing Her to Delay Her First Full Term Pregnancy (ARecognized Risk);
Through the Independent Link, meaning the abortion,by itself, raises risk, independently of the loss of theprotective effect of childbearing, by leaving her with
more places in her breasts for cancers to start (The OnlyContested Risk); and
By Causing Her, in a Later Pregnancy, to Have aPremature Birth Before 32 Weeks Gestation (An
Uncontested Risk).

NARAL & PLANNED PARENTHOODDONT TELL WOMEN:
Oral contraceptives (the pill) can specificallycause the particularly aggressive and deadlytriple-negative breast cancer.
This form of breast cancer occurs frequentlyamong women under age 50 and African
Americans and is associated with highmortality.
In their 2009 study on oral contraceptives(the pill) and triple-negative breast cancer,
Jessica Dolle and her colleagues, includingNational Cancer Institute branch chief LouiseBrinton, reported that women who start using
oral contraceptives before age 18 multiplytheir risk of developing triple-negative breastcancer by 3.7 times and recent users withinthe last 1 to 5 years multiply their risk ofdeveloping triple-negative breast cancer by 4.2times.Dolle J et al.

NARAL & PLANNED PARENTHOODDONT TELL WOMEN:
The biological reasons for threebreast cancer risks abortion,combined oral contraceptives (the pillwith estrogen + progestin), andcombined hormone replacementtherapyare the same.
All three risks have to do with theeffects of the hormone, estrogen, whileit is in the presence of the hormone,progesterone, on immature, cancer-susceptible breast lobules.
Evidence that the pill & HRT raise riskprovides further biological support foran abortion-breast cancer link.
Abortionists often add fuel to thefire by giving women the pill after
performing abortions on them.

Biological Reasons for anAbortion-Breast Cancer
LinkIn a normal pregnancy, there are physiological changesthat take place in the breasts that cannot be undone byinduced abortion.
After conception and before implantation, the embryoreleases the hormone hCG (human chorionicgonadotropin) which immediately causes the mothersovaries to produce higher levels of estrogen andprogesterone and change her breasts.
The mothers breasts become sore and tender becauseof the multiplication of breast cells to produce morebreast tissue in preparation for breastfeeding.

Biological Reasons for anAbortion-Breast Cancer
LinkIn the first months of pregnancy, the breastsgrow under the influence of pregnancyhormones.
With the stimulation of pregnancy hormonesestrogen and progesterone, the number ofcells that are immature and cancer-vulnerableare markedly increased in number.
In short, if the mother has an abortion, apremature birth before 32 weeks gestation or a2nd trimester miscarriage, she is left with
more places (cells) for cancers to start.

LinkIt is only in the hormonal environment thatoccurs after the first 32 weeks of pregnancy -during which time hPL (human placental
lactogen) has been very elevated - that thesecells mature through specific genetic changesthat cause them to become cancer-resistant.

Biological Reasons for anAbortion-Breast Cancer
LinkThe Breasts Mature DuringPuberty and Full Term Pregnancy.
A breast lobule is a unit of tissue consisting of amilk duct with ductules (glands that make milk).
During puberty: Type 1 lobules mature into Type2 as a result of exposure to the female hormones,estrogen and progesterone.Type 1 & 2 lobules areimmature & cancer susceptible.
During full term pregnancy: Under theinfluence of fetal pregnancy hormones, the
immature lobules mature into Type 4 lobules.Type4 lobules contain the early milk, colostrum, andare cancer-resistant. When they no longer producemilk, they retain the protective genetic changesand become Type 3 lobules.

Biological Reasons for anAbortion-Breast Cancer
LinkAfter puberty, 75% of the lobulesare Type 1 and 25% are Type 2.
There are only a few Type 3.
Starting early in pregnancy,pregnancy hormones increase(mainly estrogen) and stimulatethe lobules to multiply. Thebreasts grow larger and feel soreand tender under the influence ofpregnancy hormones. During the
first months of pregnancy, themother grows more Type 1 and 2lobules - more places for cancersto start.

Biological Reasons for anAbortion-Breast Cancer
LinkBy mid-2nd trimester, the breastshave doubled in volume. The breastsconsist of 70% Type 4 cancer-resistant lobules and 30% cancer-susceptible lobules.
The longer she is pregnant before anabortion takes place, the moreplaces she grows for cancers to startin her breasts. Her risk increases 3%per week of gestation at the time of
the abortion. However, if shedelivers the baby at 32 weeks ofpregnancy or later, her breastcancer risk drops sharply.Melbye et al. Br

Biological Reasons for anAbortion-Breast Cancer
LinkMost miscarriages do not raise breast cancer risk. Most miscarriagesare abnormal first trimester pregnancies, but most abortions arenormal pregnancies.
In a normal pregnancy, the levels of pregnancy hormones areelevated. The embryo produces hCG, which stimulates the mothersovaries to increase the levels of estrogen and progesterone for thepurpose of maintaining the pregnancy. A fetal abnormality may resultin a 1st trimester miscarriage because of insufficient levels ofpregnancy hormones needed to maintain the pregnancy.Stewart D. et al.,
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 76 1993;14701478.Williams Obstetrics, 21st ed. eds. F.G.Cunningham et al. (New York: McGraw- Hill, 2001), ch. 33, 856869.
If the mother did not experience elevated levels of pregnancyhormones, then the breasts were not hormonally stimulated to grow.She was not left with more places for cancers to start and anincreased breast cancer risk. Frequently, women will say they didntfeel pregnant, and their breasts were not sore and tender.

Induced abortion is a recognizedcause of premature birth often due tocervical incompetence, uterineinfection, and scarring post-abortion.
The cervix is the mouth of the uterus,and its muscle tightly holds the fetusand placenta inside during pregnancy.If the cervix is damaged during forceddilatation during an abortion, thesituation becomes a vicious cycle inwhich induced abortion is a cause ofprematurity, and prematurity morethan doubles (the mothers) breast

LinkThe more months she spendsbreastfeedingher babies during herreproductive life, the lower her breastcancer risk is. Here are the biologicalreasons why:
1. Mammary glands remain in a state ofnear complete differentiation as Type 4lobules.
2. Breastfeeding suspendsmenstruation, thereby avoidingmonthly exposure to peaks of estrogen& progesterone. Experts agree estrogen
is a cancer-causing agent and thatwomen with fewer menstrual cycleshave a reduced breast cancer risk.
3. Some cycles may be anovulatory,meaning that she was not exposed toan elevated level of estrogen that isnecessary to stimulate the release ofan ovum (egg) from the ovary.

Thus if the case group had more women in it with afamily history of breast cancer than the control group,the study would come in for merited criticism if it foundthat candy increased breast cancer risk.
In short, for a study to be valid, the study group andcontrol group of women have to be equal in all knownrisks.

The following known and suspected breast cancer risk factors were examined
separately as potential confounders for the main effects of all other risk factors in age-
adjusted models: age (at reference), race, education, annual income, family history of breast
cancer, body mass index (BMI; kilogram per square meter) 1 year before reference,
smoking history, alcohol consumption, age at menarche, number of live births, age at first
birth (still or live), lactation history (among parous women), abortion history(among
gravid women), and oral contraceptive use (never/

Among women (less than or equal to) 40 years, the relative risk for
triple-negative breast cancer associated with oral contraceptive
use(greater than or equal to) 1 year was 4.2 (95% confidence interval,
1.9-9.3), whereas there was no significantly increased risk with oral
contraceptive use for non-triple-negative breast cancer among women (less
than or equal to) 40 years, nor for triple-negative breast cancer or non-triple-negative breast cancer among women 41 to 45 years of age.

Results
In analyses of all 897 breast cancer cases (subtypes combined), the multivariate-
adjusted odds ratios for examined risk factors were consistent with the effects
observed in previous studies on younger women (Table 1). Specifically, older
age, family history of breast cancer, earlier menarche age, induced abortion, andoral contraceptive use were associated with an increased risk for breast
cancer.Risk was decreased in relation to greater number of births and younger age
at first birth.

(that abortion raises risk by itself, independent of
the loss of the protective effect of childbearing)Joel Brind, Ph.D. & his colleagues authored a 1996 review
and meta-analysis of 23 studies conducted in 14 countries.They identified 18 of 23 studies whose authors found risk
increases for women with abortions.
Brinds team reported:
a statistically significant 50% increased risk for womenwhose abortions took place before first full termpregnancy; and
a statistically significant 30% increased risk of breastcancer for women whose abortions took place after firstfull term pregnancy.

(that abortion raises risk by itself, independent of
the loss of the protective effect of childbearing)After the 1996 review & meta-analysis by Brind and hiscolleagues, their opponents authored 16 studies and a2003 collaborative reanalysis in the medical journal, TheLancet, by Valerie Beral and her colleagues. The authors
of the 16 studies & The Lancetarticle claimed abortionis not linked to increased breast cancer risk.
Yet, even Berals team acknowledged the risk-reducingeffect of full term pregnancy. They wrote, Pregnancies
that result in a birth are known to reduce a womanslong-term risk of breast cancer.Beral V, Bull D, Doll R, Peto R, Reeves G.Lancet2004;363:1007-16.
It is a contradiction, then, for the authors to conclude that abortion is
not associated with increased breast cancer risk.

(that abortion raises risk by itself, independent of
the loss of the protective effect of childbearing)Although they paid lip service to the known, protective effect of childbearing,Berals team underestimated the risk of abortion by omitting the loss of thateffect when they calculated the risk of abortion. In other words, they onlyconsidered the effect of the independent link.
In their words, they examined the Relative risk of breast cancer, comparingthe effects of having a pregnancy that ended as an induced abortion versusthe effects of never having had that pregnancy.
That is an unrealistic scenario since the pregnant woman cannot undo herpregnancy as if it had never taken place. She has only two choices - abort orhave a baby.The pregnant woman wants to know what her breast cancer risk
will be if she aborts in comparison to having a baby. Shes not likely to ask herdoctor, What will be my risk if I abort in comparison to never having had thatpregnancy?
Berals team should have compared the risks of two groups of women who werehormonally similar - pregnant women who aborted with pregnant women whohad full term pregnancies.

Although they admit that childbearing reducesbreast cancer risk, they contradict themselves byrefusing to implicate abortion as a risk factor for thedisease.That reveals their intellectual dishonesty.
