Question: "How does abortion ultimately cause breast cancer?"






Answer:

Almost all of the risk factors which are known to increase the risk of breast cancer are associated with some kind of excess exposure to the main female sex steroid hormone, estrogen. The theory on how this works in an abortion is quite simple.


The biggest surge of estrogen occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy. Estrogen goes sky high. That's okay because although it stimulates the growth of the breasts, toward the end of the pregnancy other hormones kick in that make the breast tissue mature, which also kill off cells that are not needed. Once the mature cells are (ready) to produce milk, they are not in a growing mode. Consequently they are much less likely to be subject to the mutogenic or initiating effects of carcinogens, (the substances that produce cancer). The carcinogens will affect cells which basically can grow.


If you have an abortion during the first 32 weeks of pregnancy, you get all of these growth-promoting effects on the tissues because of the big surge of estrogen. Without the differentiating and maturing effects of the later hormones, the net result is the opposite of what you find in a full-term pregnancy. It's known that a full-term pregnancy early in a woman's reproductive life is protective against breast cancer. But an early abortion not only does not confer that protection but goes the other way and confers increased risk. Thus, the extra estrogen ultimately causes abnormal cells to grow into full blown cancer.
