If “the sugar industry is repeating the history of Big Tobacco, which
denied the mounting evidence that smoking was harmful” (Dominion Post,
Jan 18) then the health and media industries are equally in denial now about
abortion.
For forty years it’s been unequivocal that a woman who opts for abortion
has a higher risk of breast cancer than the woman who gives birth. In 2017 researchers
urged the medical fraternity to acknowledge this increased lifetime risk, with
the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute stating “the lack of official explanation
for the remarkable social gradient of female breast cancer is a failure of
public health education”.
Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) does not elevate the risk of breast
cancer, but health authorities world-wide have conflated spontaneous and induced
abortion statistics to hugely misleading effect. Even allowing for the capacity
of human nature, even in scientists, for self-deception, the systematic cover-up
of overwhelming evidence proving the link is staggering.
This is the era of the lie. The “safe abortion” myth must be preserved at
all costs. It serves women’s ‘right to choose’ to end someone else’s life.
One wonders to what lengths society is willing to go, to cover its bloody
tracks.
