The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, a women's group, is aiming critics against the American Cancer Society (ACS) today because women's cancer deaths rose by 409 cases in 2003, while men's cancer deaths declined by 778 cases. Last week, the ACS 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 high number of Cancer deaths was kept high, due to sustained number of breast cancer, (40,400 expected in 2005 ), being therefore the second greatest cancer killer of women.
Attention is centered on the abortion-breast cancer link, the main cause of the steady number of deaths due to all cancers and which authorities failed to signal twenty years ago. The remark is made by 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 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," she argues.
