Object: Abortion and breast cancer.
I am a medical researcher.
It is hard to get to the truth on the alleged breast cancer / abortion link.
The theory that abortion causes breast cancer is certainly biologically
plausible. We know that childlessness is a risk factor for breast cancer.
Therefore it is quite impossible that induced abortion will not affect risk,
one way or another. The question is whether there is a seriously elevated
risk, other than the secondary effect of abortion tending to delay the age
of first child-bearing.
Something is pushing up breast cancer rates in the developed world. Abortion
is an obvious culprit, along with contraception and increasing delays in
women starting families.
Several simple case control studies have been done, which take women with
breast cancer, the "cases", ask them whether they have had any abortions,
and compare with a similar group of women without breast cancer, the
"controls". If the incidence of abortion is signifcantly different between
the two groups there are two possible explanations. Either abortion is
directly implicated, and causes breast cells to become cancerous, or
abortion correlated with something else, for instnace use of illegal drugs,
which is causing breast cancer.
These studies persistently produce the result that induced abortion
approximately doubles the chance of having breast cancer. Though this sounds
a very significant risk, actually it is quite modest in epidemological
terms. However some of the reported risks have been much more significant
than that. For instance women with a family history of breast cancer, a
known risk, and an abortion before the age of eighteen, considered to be
another risk, had a 100% incidence of breast cancer in one study.
The problem that has been pointed out with these studies is that of recall
bias. For instnace if you ask CJD (mad cow disease) patients about veal
consumption, you get an extraordinarily high figure for those eating veal.
The reason almost certainly is that, having contracted the disease, the
patients are imagining that they must have caused it somehow, and report
false memories of eating veal.
However women are unlikely to imagine an abortion that in fact never
occurred. Claims of over-reporting can be dismissed as nonsensical. However
there is still a real possibility of under-reporting, women with breast
cancer being less likely to deny an abortion than with women in the clear.
This can be checked with reasonable accuracy. Most states or countries keep
fairyl ggod abortion statistics. So if women in the control group have a
significantly level of reported abortion than the known average, suspicions
will be aroused. In fact this doesn't seem to happen.
Most studies which claim to show no link between abortion and breast cancer
are what we call "cohort studies". Instead of taking women with breast
cancer and women without, they try to take a large group of women and
compare their life history. A cohort study has the problem that there are
seldom the resources to follow a sufficiciently large group of people for
long enough. Most of the studies producing negative results got rid of the
supposed "recall bias" but introduced problems of their own. For instance
one Danish study looked at abortions from 1973, when restriction were eased
in Denmark, but breast cancer cases from 1967. This elementary error
destroys any significance the study might have had. it is difficult to get a
complete reproductive history of a large group of abortive women. Another
problem arises when numbers are corrected for "cohort effects", that is, the
tendency of breast cancer statistics to rise with time. Since abortion
statistics also rise after legalisation, this correction will erase much of
the very effect the study is claiming to measure.
Another study followed young women with breast cancer. The cases were all
women who had had full term pregnancies, and were compared with controls who
were also mothers. Abortion rates were almost identical. However a single
cancerous cell takes about ten years to grow to a tumor. By concentrating on
the young patients, the study was missing most of the possible effects.
It is possible to devise a study which shows no link between abortion and
breast cancer. This is significant, becase it means that the link, if it
exists, is not overwhelming, and may be accounted for by confounding
factors. However the studies which show no link have generally been of low
quality. The simple statistical link can be made to disappear with
complicated study designs and statistical methods, but the obvious
explanation remains a very plausible one, that abortion is increasing breast
cancer rates.
Women presenting for abortion should be asked about family history of breast
cancer. If there is a positive history of the disease, this should be a
contraindication for abortion.

Surely, if you think showing that it is not conclusively a statistical cause

prove such rather than merely stating such.
What is it if abortion contributes nothing to the increased incidence of

It's called wishful thinking on the part of Ray Fisher.
Since nulliparity (childlessness) has an effect on breast cancer rates,
abortion must also have some effect. It is impossible that it leaves
everything unchanged. However the effect might not be very large.

I am relatively certain those two factors could be correlated amongst the

What is weird to see is the refusal of the abortion oligarchy denying the
connection when birth control pills were invented in the fifties and roe v
wade started in 1973.
They act as if they do not love women enough to prevent them from
contracting this disease.

Should I ask you again, since you failed to understand the question?
"Why even say cause when the correlation is so obvious?"
Who even wants to argue about cause and effect, you escapist idiot.
Pay your fair share or go elsewhere.

So, you want to proclaim a cause where none has been found. Why do you
think it's a good idea to lie like that?

Correlation isn't useful. I can correlate cancer and water.


Go for it.
Show us the dosage rate and the correlation coeeficient you get.


Everyone who gets cancer has drunk water.


A real study, crazy. How many glasses of water does it take to induce
cancer
in a human?
I meant a study that is as detailed as the studies in this area such as
the
studies that were performed in the tobacco cases long ago.


See, this is the point I'm making. A REAL study does not confuse
correlation with causation, as you want to do.

Actually everyone drinks water, so the correlation between drinking water
and cancer will be zero.
However you can have cause without correlation. For instance everyone is
subjected to about the same level of background radiation. Everyone is hit
by about a dozen cosmic rays every day, and there is nothing you can do to
protect yourself against them. We know that occasionally radiation damages
DNA in such a way as to make a cell become cancerous.
In breast cancer and abortion, we have a highly plausible biological link,
but we don't know exactly what the mechanism might be. The case-control
studies generally show correlation - more cases amongst abortive women than
would be expected by chance. The cohort studies don't show this, but they
have methodological weaknesses and are not of very high quality. However the
cause could be confounding factors, for instance if abortive women drink
more than than other women, and drink is the real cause of breast cancer,
then a purely epidemological study wouldn't find the real cause unless it
controlled both factors explicitly.


So, you want to proclaim a cause where none has been found. Why do you
think it's a good idea to lie like that?

We are not saying that this is the last word. A very likely link has been
found, and as a precaution, abortion should be contra-indicated for women
with a family history of breast cancer or otherwise at high risk.

No we don't. Women who get abortions (and the vast majority of
abortions are 1st trimester) don't lactate. Further, since lactation
is associated with REDUCED rates of cancer, we have a "highly
plausible biological link" that abortion REDUCES the likelihood of
breast cancer.
In short, you're a pro-liar trying desperately to find some
justification for your personal biases.
Remember that science goes from facts to conclusions. What you're
trying to do is find facts to fit your preconceived conclusions.

Where are all those stem cell cures, "it's not a baby" Fischer?

It is hard to get to the truth on the alleged breast cancer /

There isn't any link.


Got any proof of that contention?
I mean real proof.
Surely, if you think showing that it is not conclusively a
statistical
cause and effect relationship, ala the bygone tobacco industry
stance,
you can prove such rather than merely stating such.
What is it if abortion contributes nothing to the increased
incidence
of
breast cancer?
Where are the extra breast cancer cases coming from?

That was easy.


Do we see your proof?

The theory that abortion causes breast cancer is certainly
biologically
plausible.


Just as plausible as that it is caused by bad karma.


Got some proof for that?
LOL!

We know that childlessness is a risk factor for breast cancer.
Therefore it is quite impossible that induced abortion will not
affect
risk,


Of course it's possible, you raving lunatic. If you'd pull your
head
out of your ***** and used facts instead of wishes you'd know it.


Where are your facts?

It's called wishful thinking on the part of Ray Fisher.

Since nulliparity (childlessness) has an effect on breast cancer
rates,
abortion must also have some effect.


I am relatively certain those two factors could be correlated amongst
the
population under study.


Correlation isn't useful. I can correlate cancer and water.

Not what I am trying to do.
I am telling you your comparison is ridiculous.


You scatterbrained types don't actually know anything do you or do you
intentionally lie to cause harm to people?


Something tells me that people like you, who deliberately conflate
correlation and causation, are the ones whose lies are causing harm.


*****. While you deny the causese of ailments and effectively serve to
increase the burden upon the public, no one really likes your denial.
People are suffering, but that seems to please you.


But since correlation isn't cause, for you to proclaim it is, is a
lie, and harmful to the public.

I didn't say correlation is cause.
Your cause and effect argument was trumped long ago in the tobacco wars.
Why are you still bitching?
Actual damages is what the law prescribes in these cases.



Any study which takes correlation and pretends to determine cause from
it is either simply a bad study or the authors are lying.


Yeah, the old cause and effect trick, huh?
Why even say cause when the correlation is so obvious?


Because the two are entirely separate things, you science-illiterate

To lie how?
To say that breast cancer is NOT caused by the causative agents involved in

What do you think the term CORRELATION means?


It doesn't mean what you routinely abuse it for. Evidently, you
insist
that correlation equals causation,


When?


About as often as you trot that shibboleth out to "prove" one of your
fantasies.


Do you mean as in the study that said something like 454 coca-colas per
day
for fifty years induces cancer?


You're stupid enough to take that at face value without asking the obvious
question, like: who would do that?

Why do you assume that?
Or do you mean at the age that I read that report I was supposed to be
asking those questions?

but since your understanding is defective, that's no surprise. Here's
something to ponder: when Roe v. Wade came down in 1973, MLB had 24
teams in two leagues. Today, there are 30. There were 16 teams in
the
NHL (and 12 in the WHA), and now there are 30 in the NHL. The NFL had
26
teams, and today has 32. The NBA had 17 teams (along with nine in the
ABA), and has 30 now. So, the question is: did legalized abortion
cause
the growth of professional sports in this country?


I would say no.


So would I. (That doesn't prove anything but that even a stopped clock
like you is right at least once a day.)


So, since I did not say that roe v wade caused the growth in professional
sports what is your point?


That you have no idea of what you babble about, much of the time.

Weird.

It is soon going to be time for you the PILL PUSHERS to pay their
share.
And, that will be a larger number than you can imagine at this point
because of all the cases in the past which were caused/contributed to
by
birth control pills and aboritons. CORRELATED.


Correlation != causation.


Inadequate defense. The damages are still uncovered.


Your inability to understand what you read is noted, again.


You still want to assume that the contributing factors that induce breast
cancer in women are to be ignored?


You're wanting to ignore anything that doesn't support your pre-decided
conclusion.

Evidence is evidence.

Check the tobacco wars to see how your SOS correlation!= causation is
passe' when the evidence outweighs your attempt at not paying for the
damages that were 'caused' already by outside agencies.


Check your invariable tactic of trying to change gears when it occurs to
you that you've fucked your argument up yet again.


Change gears?
Outside agencies are already codified in law as outside agencies.


You still can't pay attention to the conversation without wandering off
into
whatever fantasy's in your head at the moment.

Outside agencies are fantasies?

Which part of the law do you want to ignore this time while spewing the
side
that cites something that isn't codified in law as a defense?


Maybe you should provide full cites of the statutes you claim prove *your*
"point".

I'd rather go with what I know than the be bogged down with such tasks.
Outside agencies are addressed in law already.

[...]

Eating dinner changes things.


Does it induce breast cancer as often as birth control pills and
abortions do?


You'll have to do your own work on that.


Nah. The answer is required of the person who made the assertion.
Remember?


Well, you're the moron who's making the assertion, so what's keeping you
from doing as you say?


There are two assertions.
Hypothesis testing shows the side that states that hormonals and abortions
contribute to breast cancer as being the statistical choice to rest with.


Since you're making another assertion without bothering to show your proof
of
the others you've made, how about actually doing your own work, for once?

Do you mean go back to college and re-earn my degree?
Well, if Susan G Komen wants everyone to believe it is magic that is causing
breast cancer then she should stop practicing magic.
LOL!

Are you going to insist that eating dinner causes breast cancer,
pro-liar?


No, seems like you did.
Get ready to pay.


That's because you're too brain-damaged to understand what you read,
and
no one owes you a penny, period.


Lies.


It's just a coincidence you invariably support my opinion every time you
start ranting.


Is that why I just refuted it?


The only supposition you've refuted in your sorry Usenet history is that
you
should be regarded as normal.

That correlation does not equal causation. Therefore, if there has
been an increase in breast cancer rates since RvW (not sure if this is
the case), it was not necessarily caused by an increase in the legal
abortion rate.

That correlation does not equal causation.

Is that really the point?
There is real evidence of breast cancer cases.
There are contributing factors to these cases of breast cancer.
The incidence of breast cancer is up after the beginning of birth control
pill usage and abortion has been practiced by CHOICE enough to be able to
discern the contribution each contributing factor has made to the increase
in breast cancer cases.
There is no escape for the manufacturers and providers of abortions from
class action liability.

Therefore, if there has
been an increase in breast cancer rates since RvW (not sure if this is
the case), it was not necessarily caused by an increase in the legal
abortion rate.

The hate of women who were harmed by breast cancer is nothing to sustain the
refusal to cover the damages that have been created already.
The people are not liable for these increSed medical costs created by for
profit corporations in the USA.

It is soon going to be time for you the PILL PUSHERS to pay their
share.
And, that will be a larger number than you can imagine at this point

The two main contributing factors involved currently that are under review
are the use of hormonals and abortion.
Any refusal of paying to cover the damages that were created by these
factors is an act that is not in line with protecting women or the people
who have been made to pay for these cases in the form of higher insurance
premiums and early fatality.
The parties who are liable are the parties who caused the increased
incidence rate of breast cancer.
LOL!

The incidence of breast cancer may be up, but is the breast cancer
RATE up?? I don't think so. Plus, the introduction of the birth
control pill much predated the legalization of abortion and the wide
spread availability of legal abortions. Last, but most importantly,
even after all these years there has never been a legitimate medical
study that links abortions and breast cancer.

There is no escape for the manufacturers and providers of abortions from
class action liability.

Then where is your class action lawsuit????

Therefore, if there has
been an increase in breast cancer rates since RvW (not sure if this is

So what else is new? The pro-lie lobby has been beating these dead

Damages must be proven
