Abortions increase a woman's chance of breast and cervical cancer:

Doesn't seem like the smartest thing you could to do to yourself.
I'm glad my Mom didn't exercise her "reproductive rights" and have me killed. Because now she'd be divorced from my Dad AND be all alone.
Thinking.
About what her son might have grown up to be.
By Laura Bassett
A group of men with no real background in law or medicine, but blessed with a strong personal interest in womens bodies, have quietly influenced all of the major anti-abortion legislation over the past several years. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops may be one of the quietest, yet most powerful lobbies on Capitol Hill, with political allies that have enabled them to roll back decades of law and precedent.
Over the past two years the GOP-controlled House of Representatives has launched one of the most extreme assaults on women's choice the U.S. has seen in decades. Republicans voted twice to slash federal family planning funds for low-income women, moved to prevent women from using their own money to buy insurance plans that cover abortion, introduced legislation that would force women to have ultrasounds before receiving an abortion and, most recently, passed a bill that will allow hospitals to refuse to perform emergency abortions for women with life-threatening pregnancy complications.
But the erosion of women's rights didn't begin with the GOP takeover. President Barack Obama's health care reform law contained some of the most restrictive abortion language seen in decades.
Lift the curtain, and behind the assault was the conference of bishops.
