What do you think of this sign seen held by a protester outside a Planned Parenthood clinic?

It said "abortions cause breast cancer." Funny, I don't see them hanging around the cancer clinic pointing their fingers and telling women they are getting what they deserve because they had an abortion. How stupid do ARE some people?

    I think that there have been studies linking the two.

    (At least that's what I've heard)!

    Abortion is not in a women's best

    interest in many other ways, also!

    She should instead be carrying a sign that reads:

    "Stupid people will believe any claim that appears to verify their pre-existing beliefs."

    See, the real science says otherwise:

    http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/...

    (quote from the above page)

    "In February 2003, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) convened a workshop of over 100 of the world’s leading experts who study pregnancy and breast cancer risk. Workshop participants reviewed existing population-based, clinical, and animal studies on the relationship between pregnancy and breast cancer risk, including studies of induced and spontaneous abortions. They concluded that having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman’s subsequent risk of developing breast cancer."

    Yet we still find groups and web sites like this one:

    http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/

    That make claims on their pages that are proven wrong, outright lies, and not supportable by evidence.

    Go figure...

    Peace.

    It's a lie to scare women.

    There was a decent amount of research done on this subject. In reality having a child decreases your chance of breast cancer, so there were once actual concerns about this at one point.

    Of course if the data disagree with your agenda, just ignore the data.

    I guess bearing false witness is worth it, if they get to bully people.

    "The likelihood that women who have breast cancer will give a more complete account of their abortions than women who do not have breast cancer is an example of recall bias. Recall bias like this can cause studies to find links that don't exist. "

    It apparently has been linked according to a quick internet search.

    The question remains is it true.

    I hate to say that I am not suprised by it.
