US WOMEN'S CANCER DEATHS UP, MEN'S DOWN

WOMEN'S GROUP BERATES AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

A women’s group berated the American Cancer Society (ACS) in February 2006  because women’s cancer deaths rose by 409 cases in 2003, while men’s cancer deaths declined by 778 cases. The previous week  the ACS  had celebrated a small net decrease of 369 cases - allegedly the first decline in deaths from all cancers since the government began keeping national statistics 75 years ago.

The net decline was attributable to a decline in tobacco use, but deaths due to breast cancer (40,400 expected in 2005) are keeping the total number of cancer deaths elevated. Breast cancer is the second greatest cancer killer of women.

[In Australia breast cancer is the  greatest cancer killer of women, and, other than road accidents, the major cause of death for premenopausal women]

“The total number of deaths due to all cancers would have declined sooner if the government and the cancer establishment had been honest about the abortion-breast cancer link twenty years ago,” declared Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer. “In a 1986 letter to the British journal Lancet, government scientists acknowledged that ‘Induced abortion before first full-term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer.’ Instead of informing women, the cancer establishment chose to cover it up by using seriously flawed research to discredit the link. Now women are paying with their lives.”

Although the ACS refuses to implicate abortion in any way, it makes the following revealing admission on its website:

“Much of the long-term underlying increase in (breast cancer) incidence among women is due to historical changes in reproductive patterns, such as delayed childbearing and having fewer children.”

Everyone knows what caused women to change their childbearing patterns - abortion and contraceptives.

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women’s organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.

In addition, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons called on doctors in November 2003 to inform patients of a “highly plausible” relationship between abortion and breast cancer.
