PORTLAND, July 17, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Brita Stream, the winner of the Miss Oregon beauty pageant Saturday, won her crown with a speech on the link between abortion and breast cancer. During her speech Stream pointed to various studies showing a link between abortion and breast cancer and the need for accurate information to be given to women on the issue. "This gives me the chance to wear a crown for something I'm passionate about," said Stream.
Stream's passion on the subject is not only for the cameras. An internet search revealed she had written a letter to the editor on the topic clearly backing up the ABC link with educated argument.
Stream, who was awarded a $13,000 scholarship, sidestepped criticism of her speech saying "I think the word 'abortion' often ruffles people's feathers . This is a health issue not a political one." Stream will defend her platform on the ABC link and represent her state at the Miss America Pageant Sept. 21, televised on ABC.
