A recent study concluded there is a devastating link between abortion and breast cancer. Study author Patrick Carroll used national statistics from the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden and the Czech Republic for his research. The study’s findings were introduced to the press by Dr. Joel Brind, professor of biology and endocrinology at the City University of New York.
Speaking on behalf of the British pro-life group Life, Brind said, “When you look at the incidence of breast cancer [in these countries], its rise cannot be accounted for by anything else but abortion — and it’s happening in just those groups that were exposed to abortion.”
Now the most common form of cancer in the United Kingdom, the cause for the rise in post-menopausal breast cancer had been unknown. Although nationwide breast exam programs implemented in 1988-1989 revealed a higher number of cases in the early 1990s, they could not account for the surge of breast cancer among women ages 45-49 in the mid 1990s.
One highly probable connection, however, is the passage of the Abortion Act in 1967, which resulted in thousands of young women getting abortions. Statistics from the study show a high incidence of cancer among women who have never had a child, but who have gotten an abortion.
Based on that information, the study predicts that in 25 years breast cancer rates will more than double in England.
In a statement about the study’s implications concerning legalized abortion in that country, Life accused the British government and the medical establishment “of persistent refusal to take seriously the mounting evidence that abortion is a significant independent risk factor for breast cancer.”
It further stated that “unless there is a major advance in prevention of the disease [we] predict that by 2023, over 330,000 women in England and Wales may have developed breast cancer directly attributable to abortion. Most of their abortions have already taken place.”
