Even the U.N. - related World Conference on Breast Cancer, in its 1998 Global Action Plan Report, cited “induced termination of pregnancies” as one of the leading hormone-related risk factors for breast cancer.

“It seems that radically pro-abortion delegates and NGO representatives at the Beijing +5 conference are allowing their political agenda to cloud their judgment,” Dr. Crouse asserted. “Despite the evidence of an abortion-breast cancer link, they still advocate abortion-on-demand as ‘a human right.’ But what about women’s right to know that abortion puts them at increased risk of breast cancer? Attempts by pro-abortion advocates to obscure this issue are dishonest and decidedly not in the best interests of women,” she added.

Human Genes — “Inventions” or “Discoveries?” 
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, (SPUC) (www.spuc.org.uk) of London reports on efforts to patent discoveries made by the Celera Company, which appears to be outpacing the Human Genome Project of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The Human Genome Project is in the process of mapping the entire human genetic code. Biomedical companies want to patent human genes. The SPUC report reveals that the U.S. Patent Office has already issued about 400 patents on human genes and genome companies have filed for tens of thousands more. The British Science Minister has pointed out that inventions, which may be patented, differ from discoveries, which may not.
