Study: Pregnancy Outcomes Influence Breast Cancer Risk

"[A]fter the Hiroshima atomic bomb exposed women to high doses of 
radiation, it was young, nulliparous (childless) women who later 
developed breast cancer while the older parous (with children) women did 
not." Angela Lanfranchi, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery, 
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; and President, Breast Cancer 
Prevention Institute.

MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- A paper published this 
week in the journal, The Linacre Quarterly, by Angela Lanfranchi, MD 
shows how different pregnancy outcomes influence breast cancer risk. She 
explains, in simple terms, the biological reasons for each risk. [1] 
Citing 52 years of research, she said the evidence shows that:

    * "In utero, (the mother's) offspring produce hormones that mature
      85 percent of the mother's breast tissue into cancer-resistant
      breast tissue." This accounts for the protective effect of full
      term pregnancy (FTP) that experts universally recognize.

    * Delayed first FTP is associated with a temporary risk increase
      because it lengthens the period during the reproductive years when
      nearly all of the breast lobules are immature and
      cancer-susceptible and exposed to the cancer-causing effects of
      estrogen during menstrual cycles. However, in terms of lifetime
      risk, the mother will eventually benefit from the protective
      effect of FTP, provided it lasted at least 32 weeks.

    * Short pregnancies that end before 32 weeks (except for first
      trimester miscarriages) leave the breasts only "partially matured"
      and "with more places for cancers to start."

    * "Induced abortion is a recognized cause of premature birth.... and
      prematurity more than doubles breast cancer risk if it is before
      32 weeks."

    * Most first trimester miscarriages do not raise risk because
      "inadequate levels of the pregnancy hormones" during an abnormal
      pregnancy do not stimulate breast growth and "leave the mother's
      breasts unchanged."

    * Among women experiencing breast cancer during pregnancy, those who
      had FTPs had the longest survival rate in comparison to women who
      miscarried and had "slightly shorter survivals," and those who
      chose abortion and had the "shortest survivals."

    * "There is data that suggests that a woman who has a complete
      pregnancy and lactates within five years of an abortion has a
      lower risk of breast cancer than if a woman waits more than ten
      years before her first child is born."

    * Hormonal contraceptives containing "estrogen- progestin
      combination drugs prescribed in any manner of delivery: orally,
      transdermally, vaginally, or intrauterine, increase risk."

    * Breastfeeding reduces risk "in proportion to the length of
      breastfeeding."

Experts concede that an independent link between abortion and breast 
cancer makes good biological sense. [2]

"Women suffer tremendously when 'breast cancer awareness groups' keep us 
in the dark about breast physiology, especially when millions 
unwittingly damage their health by choosing abortion and combined 
hormone replacement therapy," said Karen Malec, president of the 
Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer.

"We encourage the public to send Dr. Lanfranchi's paper to the American 
Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Ask them if they can 
find any inaccuracies concerning the physiology presented in her paper. 
Challenge them to defend their position in the customary way - before 
their peers - by stating their objections in a letter to the editor of 
the medical journal."

Lanfranchi's paper is entitled, "Normal breast physiology: The reasons 
hormonal contraceptives and induced abortion increase breast cancer 
risk." She is available for interviews at 1-86-NO CANCER.

/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./

Pro-Life Leaders to Have 27 Hours of Prayer on the West Lawn of the 
United States Capitol to Address Taxpayer Funded Abortions

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- The 27 hour prayer vigil is 
part of a national campaign called "Abortion is Not Health Care."

Christians will be praying for social justice and human rights and that 
no taxpayer funds will be used to pay for abortions in the current 
congressional health care plan.

The 27 hours of prayer will begin on Sunday, September 13 at 7:00 P.M. 
and will end on Monday, September 14 at 10:00 P.M.

Pro-life and faith leaders will be discussing the 27 hours of prayer at 
a news conference on Wednesday, September 9th at 11:00 A.M.

The news conference will be at the Family Research Council located at 
801 G Street NW, Washington, DC, in the Media Center on the first floor.

Rev. Rob Schenck, President of Faith and Action, states,

"Our nation is in more than an economic crisis or a crisis over health 
care. We are in a spiritual crisis and the best way to address it, in 
fact the only way to address it is through prayer.

Every American, no matter how young or old, can and must pray."

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, 
comments,

"In times of great challenge and crisis, Americans have always turned to 
God in prayer. We have set these 27 hours apart to seek God for his 
wisdom, direction and counsel for our nation. This is especially true 
concerning the national debate on health care.

"We will be gathering on the historic West Lawn of the United States 
Capitol to humble ourselves and cry out to God for social justice and 
human rights. We will be specifically praying that no public monies are 
used in any way to pay for abortions as part of health care reform.

"We will be a bold public and prophetic witness that abortion is not 
health care and that health care reform should bring healing and 
compassion not violence and brokenness. As people of faith, we do not 
have to sit on the sidelines and watch as events unfold on the world 
state. Rather, through prayer, fasting and repentance we can help shape 
history."

  Israeli Organ Harvesting

By ALISON WEIR

Last week Sweden's largest daily newspaper published an article 
containing shocking material: testimony and circumstantial evidence 
indicating that Israelis may have been harvesting internal organs from 
Palestinian prisoners without consent for many years.

Worse yet, some of the information reported in the article suggests that 
in some instances Palestinians may have been captured with this macabre 
purpose in mind.

In the article, "Our sons plundered for their organs," veteran 
journalist Donald Bostrom writes that Palestinians "harbor strong 
suspicions against Israel for seizing young men and having them serve as 
the country's organ reserve -- a very serious accusation, with enough 
question marks to motivate the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to 
start an investigation about possible war crimes."1/...[cont'd at link

/Doctors concerned by HPV vaccine/

The /Journal of the American Medical Association/ features a government 
analysis of 12,424 voluntary U.S. reports of post-vaccination "adverse 
events," ranging from headaches to death. And a consultant to Merck, 
which produces the vaccine, has expressed concerns.

Another study confirms a link between abortion and breast cancer. The 
latest research was done in Turkey and is widely available on the
