Pigs are flying, all around me, even as I type this. Sweet vindication, for Maurice Vellacott and any and all of us concerned about the link between abortion and breast cancer (and the link between the Pill and breast cancer, too). Gloria Galloway is right:
…[T]rying to prevent abortions by scaring women with breast cancer would truly be wrong. But so too would be suppressing the risks of abortion or any medical procedure.
Incidentally, I agree with the first part of the statement. The reason freedom of information is important is simply because it’s important. Done. There will someday be an outcry that information was not released and/or publicized on this topic. I’m not saying it’s going to the headline in tomorrow’s paper, but I believe I will live to see that day.

From what I have read about the breast cancer link and abortion, when you have an abortion the milk that is produced has nowhere to go and turns into masses inside the breast. When I had the abortion procedure done, shortly thereafter I experienced major pain and swelling, and was given drugs to eliminate the problem. Now it’s starting to make sense, reading the newest findings on the correlation between breast cancer and abortion.. I’m no doctor but I wonder what will happen to me…. I really don’t even want to know.

The finding of this research is imp+negative about abortion but of a certain Louise Brinton who had a change of opinion.
Here is a quote from Pam Stephan blog from about.com http://breastcancer.about.com/b/
As if that news were not alarming enough, a statement by NCI researcher Louise Brinton admits that abortion raises breast cancer risk by 40%. Brinton spearheaded the 2003 NCI workshop about the abortion-breast cancer link (referred to as ABC). That workshop made every effort to assure women that having induced abortions was not linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, and that research did not support an ABC link. Now NCI, usually a trusted institution, is telling us that there is a 40% risk increase for women who have had abortions.

The usual left wing attitude: It is NOT about health or truth.
It is about suppressing the truth that is inconvenient for the political agenda.

Wow, I didn’t realized that my first sentence doesn’t make much sense. Sorry! I wrote it so quickly and had to post it without rereading it.
