Breast Cancer

Medical experts are still researching and debating the linkage
between abortion and breast cancer. However, a 1994 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found: "Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women.”

Here are some important facts:

1. Carrying a pregnancy to full term gives protection against breast cancer that cannot be gained if abortion is chosen.

2. Abortion causes a sudden drop in estrogen levels that may make breast cells more open to cancer.

3. Most studies conducted so far show a significant linkage between abortion and breast cancer.

Effect on Future Pregnancy
Scarring or other injury during an abortion may prevent or place at risk future wanted pregnancies. The risk of miscarriage is greater for women who abort their first pregnancy.
