British study cites abortion as cause of Breast Cancer "Time Bomb"
LONDON, Feb 27, 2001 (LSN.ca)
A study about to be released by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) in England reports that British women are harboring a breast cancer 'time-bomb' because of the high abortion rate and low number of children. The Oberserver reported yesterday that the RSS paper, "Legally Induced Abortion, Fertility and Age at First Birth as Risk Factors in Female Breast Cancer" notes that the by 2030 the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer each year will have risen from 30,000 to 50,000.
The paper quotes a study showing that having an abortion before a child, rather than the other way around, increases the chance of breast cancer by up to four times. Abortion, few children, and having one's first child later in life have all been found to be associated with cancer.
