Study: Abortion More Than Tripled Breast Cancer Risk

Motherhood and prolonged breastfeeding, on the other hand, tend to reduce the risk:

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, June 22, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new study out of Sri Lanka has found that women who had abortions more than tripled their risk of breast cancer.

The study focused on analyzing the association between the duration of breastfeeding and the risk of breast cancer. But the researchers also reported other “significant” risk factors for breast cancer, such as passive smoking and being post-menopausal. The highest of the reported risk factors was abortion.

The study, entitled "Prolonged breastfeeding reduces risk of breast cancer in Sri Lankan women: A case-control study," was led by Malintha De Silva and colleagues from the University of Colombo.

Could it help break the conspiracy of silence over the link between abortion and breast cancer? Only if we work hard enough to make these facts known.
