60 Per Cent Increase Cited
LONDON, England, Nov. 1 (LSN.ca) – Recent surges in breast cancer rates among 40-year-old British women are being attributed to abortions performed after the 1967 Abortion Act was passed. Zenit News reported that Patrick Carroll, director of the Pension and Population Research Institute, says in a research paper that there is also likely to be a 60 per cent increase in the disease over the next 20 years for the same reason.
“My conclusion is based on the figures for abortion, breast cancer and fertility published by the Office of National Statistics,” says Carroll. “Age at first birth and childlessness, both relevant factors, have not contributed to the rise . The greater incidence of abortion is probably the main factor.” He added the conclusion is supported by data from Scotland, Sweden and Finland, and that his predictions are likely to be confirmed when more figures are released by the national statistics office.
