For the past several years, October has been Breast Cancer awareness month, and no doubt this year we will see the usual pink ribbons, the fund-raising events, the sporting ovals with generous people wearing pink shirts running and jumping to raise money to combat this disease. The funds raised are used for research, treatment, support services for patients and educating women on early diagnosis. But there is nothing on prevention.

There was a small news item in The Age (Melbourne) on 29/8/09: "Cancer on rise as births delayed", which quoted unnamed researchers saying that because women were delaying having children, the incidence of breast cancer had almost doubled since the 1960s and would continue to rise as women had children later in life. What they did not mention was that many women have aborted earlier pregnancies which might have protected them against breast cancer. Why are our "researchers" and Cancer Councils not giving women and young girls this information? Adolescents are routinely offered abortion as if a teen-age pregnancy is the worst thing that could happen to them. It isn't - cancer is far worse.

Karen Malec, President of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer (based in the USA) reports that two doctors wrote a letter to the Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois) entitled, "Why not prevent breast cancer?" They argue that if a woman breastfeeds her babies for four years, avoids synthetic "birth control" chemicals and never has an abortion, her lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is "statistically zero (not absolutely zero)." They correctly observed: "We are causing an epidemic of breast cancer."

Karen says "We couldn't agree more. Cancer fundraising businesses withheld evidence dating from the 1980s that combined oral contraceptives (the pill) and combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) raised breast cancer risk until the national press (not cancer groups) broke the news about the risk of using HRT in 2002. From 1957, cancer organizations concealed the existence of a large body of epidemiological, experimental and biological research implicating abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.

“This year, these organizations expect more than one-quarter of million women [in theUSA] to be diagnosed with breast cancer (in situ and invasive breast cancer), but they are not alarmed”!

Karen’s experience in the USA is similar to ours in Australia. Endeavour Forum has written numerous letters to the National and State Cancer Councils, to the National Breast

Cancer Foundation and to Federal and State Health Ministers giving them information on why abortion increases breast cancer risk. None of them have had the courage to tackle the abortion lobby and abortion providers - no health warnings similar to warnings on cigarette packets are issued.

Below is the physicians' letter to the Daily Herald: "Why not prevent breast cancer?" By Drs. Peter Rosi and Mayer Eisenstein August 24, 2002 http://www.dailyherald.com:80/story/?id=315126&src “Carol Van Der Woude, an experienced nurse with whom I have worked in the past, explained a scientific concept on breast-cancer development (July 22 Fence Post). There is much more.

“When I see demonstrators wearing pink ribbons to seek to ‘cure’ breast cancer, I want to cry. As a family doctor, trained and certified (1969) as a surgeon to remove breast cancer, I know of international research proving how to prevent breast cancer.

“If a woman’s breastfeeding history covers four years, [she] never receives the synthetic ‘birth-control’ chemicals in the pill, the patch, most IUDs and the shot, and never has an abortion, her risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime is statistically zero (not absolutely zero). “Sadly, in our society almost nobody is breast-fed for any significant time; 95 percent of l9-year-old girls are on the pill (or equivalent), or were on it earlier in life; and 35 percent of women have one or more abortions. “We are causing an epidemic of breast cancer. “I rejoice that there are many children growing in our medical practice, and women who have avoided the above dangerous practices, who will not develop breast cancer. “But we pray that the medical profession will end its denial of the truth. Indeed, people need to make their own choices in life, but they should be informed choices. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
