I see it every day in my practice. Thirty percent of my breast cancer patients who are in their thirties do not have a family history of cancer, but have had an abortion. It is estimated that an additional ten thousand cases of breast cancer occur each year because of abortion.”Lanfranchi admits to an intial reluctance to speak out on behalf of women, a fear that OB-GYN doctors would stop referring patients to her. But, as she says, to fail to alert the public is inexcusable.Nevertheless, Western sensibilities do not want to recognize the link between abortions and cancer. In fact, consider this compelling critique of today’s abortion culture from Argentinian-born gender historian, Lilian Calles Barger: “The widely practiced violence of abortion is not a sign of progress but a sign that women’s reproductive ability needs to be exterminated in order for society to go ‘forward.’ In an environment hostile to women’s bodies and through abortion, women participate in a war against their own bodies, objectifying them.”We are witnessing tragedy on two levels. At one level are the women suffering from breast cancer as a result of having an abortion.

She wrote an article titled “New study from China Helps to Prove the Abortion-Breast Cancer Link”:In the US we are used to abortion advocates claiming that the risk of elective abortion is relatively trivial, and major medical organizations denying any link between abortion and breast cancer. Now a powerful new study from China published last week by Yubei Huang and colleagues suggests otherwise. The article, a meta-analysis pooling 36 studies from 14 provinces in China, showed that abortion increased the risk of breast cancer by 44% with one abortion, and 76% and 89% with two and three abortions [emphasis added].China is the place to do research on this subject because there are “an average of 8.2 million pregnancy terminations every year, and 40 abortions for every 100 live births. Chinese researchers and physicians are unencumbered by abortion politics, and do not cover up data showing long-term effects of induced abortion, as do their US counterparts in g
