To the Editor:

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Reflect on two major causes of breast cancer that we never hear about – abortions and birth control pills! With literally every woman using these contraceptives daily and 10’s of millions having had abortions since 1973, women are not being told the whole truth about this healthcare being foisted on them! In his landmark book “Breast Cancer – Its Link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill,” Dr. Chris Kahlenborn, after seven years of reviewing and analyzing over 500 research studies offers the following conclusions which all women must know:

· Both induced abortion and oral contraceptive use, especially at a young age, increase the risk for developing breast cancer. The breast cancer risks from abortion and hormonal contraceptive use, act independently of each other.

· Women having an abortion prior to their first full term pregnancy, have a 50 percent increased risk of breast cancer; those having an abortion after their first full term pregnancy, have a 30 percent increased risk of breast cancer.

· Women under 18 who have had an abortion, experienced a 150 percent increased risk of breast cancer and if the abortion was between the ninth and 24th week of pregnancy, this risk increased to an astonishing 800 percent.

· Women with a family history of breast cancer and who have had more then two abortions, have a 600 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer.

· Women having an abortion prior to 18 as well as a family history of breast cancer, had an infinite increased risk of breast cancer, compared to those with a family history of breast cancer and not having an abortion!

· Women who are over age 30 at the time of their abortion and with a family history of breast cancer, had a 270 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer.

· If a women takes the oral contraceptive pill before her first child, she suffers at least a 40 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer; if she takes these pills for more than four years before having her first baby, she has a 72 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer.

· Women using DMPA (Depo-Provera) for more than two years prior to age 25, show a 190 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer.

· Women who have had abortions and also use oral contraceptives, have a multiplied risk of developing breast cancer.
