Abortion Creates Health Problems

AlterNet Misleads Women, Says Abortion Not Linked to Breast Cancer, Infertility

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a new hit piece the liberal political web site AlterNet posted against pregnancy centers, they are accused of giving women inaccurate information about abortion and its link to breast cancer and infertility. However, AlterNet is apparently not up on the latest research confirming both links as true.

"Under the dubious free speech protection, CPCs are going to disgusting lengths to scare women out of seeking abortions -- with the help of federal and state funding," AlterNet wrote.

The report featured an interview with a California NARAL operative who led an "investigation" of pregnancy centers -- though she failed to record or video any examples of the claims she provided the web site.

"NARAL volunteers reported being told that abortion can lead to breast cancer, infertility and mental health problems," AlterNet complains. "NARAL's goal isn't to shut CPCs down; it's to get them to be more upfront about the type of information or services they offer."

AlterNet may want to heed those words.

Just this year, a study called abortion a "known risk factor" for breast cancer and cited a prior study conducted by the prestigious Janet Daling group of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Daling and her colleagues showed between a 20 and 50 percent increased breast cancer risk for women having abortions compare to those who carried their pregnancies to term.

The newer study, conducted by Jessica Dolle, appears in the April, 2009 issue of the epidemiology journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.

As Dr. Joel Brind, a prominent breast cancer researcher, says, "what was striking was the way in which the finding of a significant ABC link was characterized."

"Specifically, abortion appears in the data table which lists the associations found for 'known and suspected risk factors,'" he explains. "In the text, the effect of the significant risk factors, including induced abortion, were described as 'consistent with the effects observed in previous studies on younger women.'"

Last year, studies from Turkey and China also reported statistically significant risk increases for women who had abortions.

Dr. Vahit Ozmen and his colleagues at the Istanbul Medical Faculty at Istanbul University and Magee-Women's hospital in Pittsburgh conducted a retrospective study.

They published their findings in the April 2009 issue of the World Journal of Surgical Oncology and examined women who, between January 2000 and December 2006, were admitted to clinics of Istanbul Medical Faculty for examination.

The researchers said that their findings showed abortion was "significantly associated with increased breast cancer risk."

"Breast cancer risk was found to be increased in women with ... induced abortion (95% confidence interval)" and an age above 35 years-old at the time of a first live birth. "However, decreased breast cancer risk was associated with ... presence of spontaneous abortion."

"Our study revealed that spontaneous abortion was associated with the decreased risk of breast cancer in univariate analysis whereas induced abortion was associated with increased breast cancer risk in both univariate and multivariable analyses," they wrote.

As far as infertility is concerned, abortion has been documented in a link with infertility in nations across the globe.

The 2009 Investigative Report on the Current State of Infertility in China, released at the China International Summit Forum on Infertility in August, 2009, found, in a survey of 18,000 people, seeking treatment for infertility in Beijing, that 10 percent had been trying to conceive for a year since getting married, 15 percent had been trying for two years and 25 percent for 10 years.

For women, the leading cause of infertility is the blockage of the fallopian tubes, mostly induced by abortions, the report said.

Research shows that abortion can lead to infertility by increasing the risk of miscarriages.

A 1986 report in the medical journal Epidemiology reveals women with a history of abortion have a greater risk of fetal loss than women who had no previous abortions. Women with two prior pregnancies carried to term and no abortions had the lowest risk, while women with two prior abortions had the highest risk.

Also, a 1991 British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology article revealed that women with a history of abortion had a 1.5-1.7 times higher risk of ectopic pregnancy than women who had previously carried a pregnancy to term.

According to the Elliot Institute, an Illinois group that studies abortion's effects on women, about three to five percent of women who get abortions are left inadvertently sterile as a result of an abortion. The risk of sterility is even greater for women who are infected with a venereal disease at the time of the abortion.

Even Planned Parenthood of Australia has acknowledged the future risk of problem pregnancies caused by abortion.

Its web site includes consent forms that list 12 serious complications from a first trimester abortion.

It says that some complications include: "infections ... a tear in the cervix that may require stitches ... incompetent cervix/stenosed cervix (too tight or too loose cervix which may impair future fertility), Asherman's syndrome (cessation of periods and adhesions in uterus that may impair future fertility), depression or mood disturbance, suicide. ..."

The risk of post-abortion problems in future pregnancy is also seen in countries with abnormally high abortion rates, such as Russia and Vietnam.

Vladimir Serov, the deputy director of the Russian Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology Center at the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, told the Russian media source Regnum that 120,000 women are injured each year from legal abortions.

He said numerous Russian women suffer from sterility, endometriosis and other problems following abortions.

This has led to a significant problem of premature births and Serov said Russian women typically have 160,000 miscarriages a year and there are 60,000 premature births annually.

Vietnam is experiencing high rates of infertility among women there.

Dr. Le Thi Phuong Lan, deputy director of the Central Hospital for Obstetrics and Gynaecology’s Reproductive Assistance Centre, has noticed the recent infertility problems. He said that a survey conducted by Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City found that women who had abortions were 5.2 percent more likely to suffer from infertility.

1939 Quote: "We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population" Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood's Founder

Another Planned Parenthood abortion clinic built next to a black neighborhood

A new Planned Parenthood clinic is under construction in Virginia Beach, right next to the Lake Edward neighborhood, a predominantly black community. Of course, this is business as usual for the group which many black leaders say is responsible for carrying out a genocide against black babies.

According to the Center for Disease Control, there were 11,156,700 black babies aborted between 1973-2001. Today, that number is estimated to be at least 13,000,000. We hear so much how violence is taking a tremendous toll on the black community an of course it is, but it cannot begin to compare to disaster of abortion.

Students for Life America recently reported that black women are 4.8 times more likely to have an abortion than are their white counterparts. Black babies account for 36 percent of abortions, while only accounting for 17 percent of live births.

In April 2008, a group of black pastors held a vigil outside of a Washington D.C. Planned Parenthood clinic, they did so to protest what they characterize as a “genocide” carried out against black babies.

Angered, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, of Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny said: “Every day … over 1,500 black babies are murdered inside the black woman’s womb. This is a race issue.”

At that same rally, Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union said: “Black America must wake up and stand up to this racist organization that purposefully plants abortion facilities firmly in black and minority neighborhoods and urban communities -- sometimes, right next door to schools.”



In 1921, Margaret Sanger founded the American Birth Control League which eventually became known as Planned Parenthood. Sanger was a racist who advocated eugenics, so-called 'selective breeding', euthanasia, sterilization, and abortion. She published several books in which she often referred to blacks as "genetically unfit" and "human weeds."

Sanger promoted something she called "race hygiene" for groups of people of whom she apparently thought had no self control nor any real purpose. In her 1920 book, “What Every Girl Should Know,” she said: "It said that a fish as large as a man has a brain no larger than the kernel of an almond. In all fish and reptiles where there is no great brain development, there is also no conscious sexual control. The lower down in the scale of human development we go the less sexual control we find. It is said that the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets."

In 1929, Sanger even accepted an invitation to speak at a Ku Klux Klan meeting in New Jersey, which she described in her autobiography.

You will never hear that previous bit of information from any pro-abortion activist. In fact, the organization which Sanger founded has tried to hide her racist motivations and claim that some of the hateful quotes attributed to the woman who could easily be described as the American Hitler, were simply taken out of context. Planned Parenthood has a section of their website dedicated to Sanger in which she is painted as a cross between Mother Theresa and Medgar Evers (My apologies to the families of both).

Here are a few telling quotes from Margaret Sanger:

“Give dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.”
-Birth Control Review, April 1932

“Eugenics is...the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial and social problems.”
-Birth Control Review, October 1921

“Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying...demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism.”
-The Pivot of Civilization, 1922

“Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need. We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock.”
-Birth Control Review, April 1933

“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”
-Woman, Mortality, and Birth Control, 1922

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
-Sanger's letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, Dec. 19, 1939

Despite the preceding collection of well-documented racist quotes by their founder Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood makes the following statement on their website: “There is no evidence that Sanger, or the Federation, intended to coerce black women into using birth control.”

While there is no doubt that the roots of the abortion movement stem from a great hatred of black people, it would seem that Planned Parenthood's desire to kill black babies is just as strong today. Over 78 percent of that organization's abortion clinics are located inside or within close proximity to black neighborhoods.

Planned Parenthood operates more than 850 abortion clinics across the country, and receives a third of their funding from the U.S. taxpayers. In Fiscal Year 2008, Planned Parenthood was given $349 million in government grants.

Reader Comment:
Black Genocide from abortion is very real. In fact, I recently watched a 2 hour documentary loaded with quotes and original works of Margaret Sanger and The Eugenics Groups who founded Planned Parenthood. The film was called: Maafa21 Black Genocide in 21st Century America, and it shocked me to say the least. I was totally unaware of how the early black civil rights leaders warned that abortion clinics were strategically being placed in black neighborhoods and would be used as genocide against black people. How come no one is saying this? But what was really surprising was the video clip of former Planned Parenthood President admitting that Planned Parenthood receives racist donations. Maafa21 is extremely well documented and over 2 hours long. I urge everyone to get this stunning film - it will shock you as it did me and reveal the truth about Planned Parenthood. Maafa21 was produced by Life Dynamics , view a preview at Maafa21com.

Isaiah 61

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
