Why do some Pro-Lifers lie about abortion causing breast cancer?
Abortion doesn't actually cause breast cancer or increase your risk of breast cancer. Women who abort lose out on a chance to reduce their risk of breast cancer, though. When someone says "It's just a fetus", they are telling the truth. If you don't care about it, since it is a fetus, it is just a fetus to you. :) People make that true. No matter how I look at certain Pro-Life arguments, I can't find any way they are true. I'd rather tell the truth and argue against my personal opinion than lie and misinform women.

so it scares people into not having an abortion.
2 :
Pro-Lifers hate abortion. They will do anything to make abortion seem less appealing. Including lie.
3 :
They tell all sorts of lies including preaching false biblical doctrine. If they put their efforts in ending world hunger or adopting all the unwanted kids, we would have a pretty decent world. But thats not the case, because at the end of the day, its not really about the unborn, its about control.

i think most of them are so dumb that they actually believe it its not necessarily a lie..just stupidity ...i'm with betty about it being about control...that and arm chair holier than thous...lots of talk & judgment, no action
5 :
You'd better do your homework. Ask any veterinarian - if you want your [dog, horse, cat, etc.] to have a much lower risk of breast cancer, spay it. The constant menstrual cycles of female mammals that don't get pregnant regularly causes the body to be subjected to a lot of hormones for which it was not designed. This greatly increases the risk of getting breast cancer. Only the abortion industry is denying that what is true for other female mammals is true for human females.

well you gotta think about it from where they are coming from. so many people are automatically like screw you abortion is great. i dont blame them for saying that they need to get some attention from people who are against it.. but on the other hand it could just be making their situation worse. they lie because they want to get attention about there concern alot of people dont give a crap or they're just saying they're pro- life and are all like yah blah blah it causes breast cancer but really they're just following the trend (they're fakes)

Yes agreed, they miss out on the chance to reduce their risk of breast cancer, as mothers have a slight protection afforded by pregnancy and childbirth hormones. On the other hand, certain types of cancer are more likely - I heard that ovarian cancer was less likely on the pill, plus pregnancy comes with its own health risks - varicose veins, post-natal depression, bladder weakness, prolapse etc. Basically, there are health risks attached to almost any decision in life. But whilst I double my chances of cancer by smoking and drinking, there doesn't seem much point worrying about a tiny increase in breast cancer risk :-)
8 :
They're just trying to support their side of the argument. Most evidence supported by the pro-lifers is not factual, and is based solely on religion or opinion.
9 :
because they don't actually care about what's best for the women involved in what could easily be a devastating situation if she didnt want the child. they care about tradition and family values. they care more about something that can't even feel pain and doesn't really know it exists until a few months in. sorry to rant, i just hate how disrespectful and self-righteous pro-lifers can be.
10 :
The problem is that these people are fanatical in their beliefs and will go to any length to deter people from abortion. I dont have a problem with them feeling the way they do but I do want to know who will pay for all the children they 'save' when the mother is too young or just unable to care properly for the kids. Yes there is fostering but, lets face it, not enough people do it and many kids fall through the cracks to end up living on the streets. Adoption is one solution but isnt that still giving away your child and who can be sure that the child will have a better quality of life? Its every womans right to decide for herself what she will do and these people do themselves no favour by not being honest and upfront. Abortion is not an easy decision for most women to make and is often a very painful memory. I have a friend who made this decision 2 years ago and is still trying to come to terms with her decision although it was then, and I think, still is the best she could have made. Dont assume all women look at it as an easy way out of a bad situation...quite often its done for good reason.
11 :
Because they are people. When people want something, they will do anything, including lie to get it.
12 :
First, Pro-Life is the wrong term - call it what it is - the Compulsorily Pregnancy People. They are so totally misguided that they will say and do anything - the truth has no relevance to them.
13 :
it's just scare tactics ... very unethical
14 :
Because they're lying sons of..... no, just kidding. Lol. Honestly, anything they can use to argue their ridiculous point they'll use.
15 :
I have never ever heard this. So I call bull crap an shananigains.
16 :
For the same reason pro-choice advocates claim abortion is safe. It's just an argument they find persuasive, even if it's not based in fact. The objective is to persuade someone to carry the pregnancy to term, so anything they can say to achieve that goal is fair game.
17 :
They'll say anything loosely based on a bullsh*t, nonexistent study just to get people on their side. What the f*ck does "pro-life" mean any way? Are trees and plants not living? Are animals not living? Are bacteria not living? What's the significance of saving a congregated group of cells? Do these motherf*ckers even know what it is they believe in? No. It's just another reason to be close-minded, spread hatred and disgust, and tell people how to live their lives. Look, it's not cool to abort a baby at, say, 6 months, but when the placenta has hardly formed-- well, who gives? These *ssholes really ought to research all of the negatives that come with going through with having a baby. Me, I'm Pro-death-if-and-when-necessary-and-or-logical. Example: I eat pork. Someone had to kill it sometime. Or I'd personally execute Bill O'Reilly given the lawful chance. Both seem logical and necessary. So does aborting a gooey, bloody, foreign thing in your uterus that can't even be called human yet when there are perceived complications to follow if you keep it.
18 :
That's a new one to me. I'd like to read more about that. Would you please provide a link. Thank You
19 :
you know why they do it.
20 :
All these types of special interest groups will say anything to get their way.
21 :
Beats me; I've never heard that. Furthermore, I don't see why denying unborn children such a basic right as life shouldn't be enough in and of itself without the link to breast cancer; if a woman has such a burning desire to take a life she should take her own rather than getting pregnant and taking the life of an unborn child that didn't choose to be conceived.
22 :
Breast cancer is a very common form of cancer. Using that kind of reasoning, it must mean that roughly one in every eight women has had an abortion.
23 :
They're taking the truth that a woman who gives birth has less chance of getting breast cancer because of the hormones released due to childbirth and twisting it around to "prove" a point. Pro-choicers do this too with other things of course. A good one is "it's just a fetus." Because, you know, scientific definitions completely define life. The definition was meant to denote what stage of development the unborn is in, not to try to say it's less than human.
24 :
because the pro-life movement is based on lies. they lie about how a fetus develops, they lie about how abortions are performed and they lie about the health risks of abortions. you'd think that if abortions really were terrible, they wouldn't have to lie. kind of makes you think
