North Dakota, Aug 28 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The growing amount of evidence of a link between (induced) abortion and breast cancer is invariably greeted with deep hostility and outright repudiation by pro-abortion advocates. One abortuary in North Dakota, the Red River Women’s Clinic, went so far as to produce a pamphlet stating that, “Anti-abortion activists claim that having an abortion increases the risk of breast cancer and endangers future child-bearing. None of these claims are supported by medical research or established medical organizations.”
Abortion protestor Amy Jo Mattson sued the abortuary for false advertising after seeing the pamphlet last year. “She is represented by attorney John Kindley, who wrote a widely-read 1998 Wisconsin Law Review article on the legal connection between informed consent laws and scientific evidence of a link between abortion and breast cancer,” reported WorldNetDaily on Saturday. The case was heard Friday.
Dr. Joel Brind, a professor of biology and endocrinology at Baruch College of the City University of New York, is the recognized expert around the world on the abortion-breast cancer link. He maintains that 26 out of 32 published studies on the subject worldwide and 12 out of 13 studies in the United States support the claim. In the case in question, if the judge rules against the abortuary, he will effectively be calling the studies reliable. At that point, attorney Scott Somerville told WorldNetDaily, “the state’s Abortion Control Act kicks in. … The Act grants $10,000 and triple the amount of actual damages to women who were not provided with enough information to grant ‘informed consent’ for an abortion.”
