Breast cancer linked to abortion

A recent study corroborated the findings of a number of studies over the last ten years, which have linked an increased risk of breast cancer for women who have had an abortion.

Scientists at the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka carried out the research. The findings which were published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, is the fourth epidemiological study to report such a link in the past 14 months. Research in China, Turkey and the U.S. revealed similar conclusions.

The initial premise of the research was to gather data to determine if breastfeeding can protect women from developing the killer disease. As the data was analyzed researches concluded that an abortion can triple a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer in later life.
