In New Hampshire, a Tea Party-happy House of Representatives has passed a bill that would require doctors to tell women that abortion causes breast cancerdespite the fact that its untrue.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jeanine Notter, states that it is scientifically undisputed that full-term pregnancy reduces a womans lifetime risk of breast cancer and women facing an abortion decision have a right to know that such medical data exists. Therefore, doctors must inform pregnant women that there is a direct link between abortion and breast cancer.
But no link between abortion and breast cancer has been proven. The consensus in the scientific community, in fact, is that abortion does not cause breast cancera statement supported by the World Health Organization, the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
