Study Shows Abortion Linked to High Breast Cancer Risk

by Steven Ertelt | Beijing, China | LifeNews.com | 11/26/12 2:11 PM

A study in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention shows abortion increases the risk of breast cancer for women.

C. Yanhua of the First Peoples’ Hospital of Kunming in Yunnan province and his colleagues found the abortion-breast cancer association after comparing data from 263 cases of breast cancer and 457 controls without the disease. Their analysis covers the years 2009-2011.

The authors examined information on disease diagnosis, demographics, medical history, and reproductive characteristics of the patients involved and also looked at short menstrual cycle, old age at first live birth, never breastfeeding, history of oral contraceptive use, postmenopausal status and nulliparity to determine in abortion-breast cancer link exists.

They write that “multivariate model analysis revealed the significant independent positive associations with breast cancer of shorter menstrual cycle, older age at first live birth, never breastfeeding, history of oral contraception experience, increased number of abortion, menopause status, and nulliparities.”

“Number of abortion showed an increasing higher risk of breast cancer,” they added, while saying that women who had one live birth lowered their risk. “As far as women who had once a live birth, it showed decreased the risk of breast cancer compared to nulliparous.”

“This study showed an increased risk of breast cancer with times of abortion. The association between abortion and risk of breast cancer in a study in China showed that the risk factors of female breast cancer included abortion times more than two (Li et al., 2006),” they continued. “Another study found that risk was raised among women reporting at least one abortion, but no trend was seen with number of abortions (Heuch et al., 2008). In a meta-analysis study, pooled odds ratio for number of abortions greater than and equal three was statistically significant (95%CI:1.68-5.36) (Tao et al.,2011).”

“In conclusion, in this study the estrogen related risk factors of breast cancer included woman who had longer menstrual cycle, older age of first live birth, never breastfeeding, nulliparity, and number of abortions more than one. Therefore, it is recommended to women with these risk factors perform breast cancer screening tests earlier and regularly,” they said.

A study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention in February reported a very statistically significant increased risk of breast cancer for women with previous abortions as opposed to women who have never had one.

This breast cancer risk has been studied before. It's not a question of abortion but of lactation that is prompted by pregnancy and then not able to run its course. Similar difficulties have occurred with miscarriages, stillbirths, and immediate adoption. The particular risk with abortion is that, in most other circumstances, such as miscarriage, the woman is under medical care and gets some hormonal treatment to end the lactation. But with so many problems in getting an abortion, the woman frequently has to travel a considerable distance for the abortion procedure and does not see a doctor for follow-up care that would take care of the lactation. Therefore the problem is not so much the abortion as the various political roadblocks that make abortion difficult to obtain.

Bullshit. I've known many women who have had miscarriages and none have ever been given any medication or hormonal treatment relating to lactation. I've known several women who had stillborn babies and even they were given no medication or hormonal treatment despite breasts swelling with milk for a baby that will never use it. The recommendation was to pump the milk and share it with a mother who needs it!

Lactation is an extremely painful process that doesn't really get going until AFTER THE BABY IS BORN when the breasts become as hard as concrete filling with milk for the baby. Sure, there is small secretion in the breasts through pregnancy, but it isn't anything like producing milk after the baby is born. Most abortions are in the first 12 weeks and there is NO LACTATION at that time.

Lactation isn't a frickin' issue until after the baby is born! Obviously, you have never had the joy of lactating, but that doesn't mean you can just make up stories to validate your pro abortion stance.

Wrong. Substantial lactation (1 year+) delays ovulation, and it's the lowered number of menstrual ovulatory cycles that offers women the protection against BC. Lactation that's less than a year gives a limited amount of protection, only slightly more than no breast feeding. No breast feeding at all (even when given hormonal treatment to end lactation after abortion as you suggest) is a statistically significant ( comparatively speaking) risk factor for BC because ovulatory menstrual cycles are allowed to kick in earlier.

According to the article:

"In this study a lack of history of breastfeeding was associated with increased risk of BC, consistent with previous study (Liu et al., 2011). In a meta-analysis, mothers who breastfed for a total of one year were found to be slightly less likely to develop breast cancer than mothers who had not breastfed; those who breastfed for a total of two years had about twice the benefit of those who breastfed for a total of one year (2002).

An explanation for the protection afforded by lactation is that the cumulative number of ovulatory menstrual cycles a woman experiences will be lower among women substantial lactation experience because breast-feeding delays ovulation following a completed pregnancy."
