(Via St. Michael Society) You won’t find it reported on ABC, NBC, and CBS. You won’t read it on the front pages of any major national newspaper. Nor will we see any congressional investigation to learn more about the threat. For many years, the pro-life movement, as well as many scientists, doctors and medical professionals have warned about the risk associated between abortion and breast cancer.

Revelations from a well-known doctor at the National Cancer Institute confirm what many scientists, doctors and researchers have been saying for years.  Yes, there is a link between abortion and breast cancer.

Earlier this year, Dr. Louise Brinton, chief of the National Cancer Institute’s Environmental Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, revised her comments and beliefs from a 2003 NCI study that suggested there was no link between abortion and breast cancer.

But now, six years later, after more thought and research, Dr. Brinton is now convinced of the link between abortion and breast cancer. Praise goes out to Dr. Brinton for studying the matter further and doing, well, what researchers, scientists, and medical professionals should be doing — finding the truth.

SMS congratulates our friend, and fellow blogger, Jill Stanek for a terrific story about Dr. Brinton’s concession.  Also, major congrats to pro-life Dr. Joel Brind, a biology and endocrinology professor who had co-authored a meta-analysis demonstrating an abortion/breast cancer link.  Dr. Brind is a true hero in this story as he has continuously pushed the connection between abortion and breast cancer and exposed the hypocrisy of the NCI on the issue.
