1. "A woman who finds herself pregnant at age 15 will have a higher
breast cancer risk if she chooses to abort that pregnancy than if she carries
the pregnancy to term. Lynn Rosenberg, PhD., Boston Medical School. 2. "Interruption during the first trimester of a first pregnancy causes
a cessation of cell differentiation, which may result in a subsequent
increase in the risk of cancerous growth in these tissues." Planned
Parenthood Federation of America (1994) 3. "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." "Highest risks (more than double) were observed
when the abortion was done at ages younger than 18 years... or at least 30
years of age or older." Dr Janet Daling HOW? Abortion interrupts the
natural process of breast development, leaving the breast with more cells
that can become cancerous. Elevated levels of estrogen, starting early in
pregnancy, cause normal and pre-cancerous cells to multiply and stimulate the
breasts to swell. Third trimester hormones of a full-term pregnancy change
cells into cancer-resistant, milk-producing tissue and turn off their growth
(and cancer-forming) potential. |
