Breast cancer isn't linked to abortion

A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine finds that having an abortion does not increase a woman's risk of breast cancer.

Birth Before 35

It seems to me that just because a woman has had an abortion doesn't mean that she won't have a full term pregnancy at a later date before the age of 35 or that she hasn't already had a full term pregnancy before having an abortion.

That Logic Wasn't Sound

Re-read the study, ol' chap, that scenario was specifically contra-indicated.

The right's logic is sound, though

1) Having a baby while you're young reduces your chance of getting breast cancer.

2) Most teenagers who are pregnant terminate their pregnancies through abortion rather than giving birth.

Therefore... abortion is increasing the rate of breast cancer in women by allowing them to not have babies while they are young. The logic is impeccable. Twisted, but impeccable. I suppose that the next step to reducing breast cancer (after banning abortion) should be requiring all women to have babies while they are teenagers, or at least very young women.

Just to keep the record straight:

Finally science mad it clear:

Masturbation does not affect your vision,

drives you mad

or lowers your IQ. . .

Either.
