Proven link between
abortion and breast cancer
This quote, from an article in the Edmonton
Journal, by Lorne Gunter
shows how the pro-choice lobby are responsible for the deaths of thousands
of women every year.

IT would appear the pro-choicers, who are largely in
charge of our culture, politics, universities and media, have been doing
their level best to keep women from learning about the elevated risk for
breast cancer that comes from having an abortion.
In the summer 2003 issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of American Physicians
and Surgeons, author Karen Malec forcefully lays out the case that induced
abortions raise women's risk of developing breast cancer, by 30 to 100
per cent or more. Miscarriages do not. The key is the artificiality of
on-demand abortions.
There are a lot of immature, cancer-vulnerable cells in breasts until a
woman becomes pregnant -- then there are lot more.
If the pregnancy goes to full term, very near the end of the seventh month,
hormones are release that mature these cells into lactating ones less susceptible
to cancer.
But when a healthy pregnancy is abruptly terminated, the hormones have
too little chance to mature the breast tissue, so what is left behind is
an increased number of vulnerable cells, which raises the risk of cancers
developing.
Malec contends this is well-known among cancer researchers -- or should
be -- but is denied or even deliberately covered up, either because the
researchers themselves are so pro-choice they cannot bear to bring bad
news about the abortion-breast cancer link, or because they cannot withstand
the slings and arrows of feminists and pro-choice advocates.
Cancer societies, government research institutes, pro-abortion politicians,
even medical associations continue to deny the increasing bulk of evidence.
Of the 40 or so major studies on the ABC link (abortion-breast cancer),
nearly three-quarters have shown a statistically significant correlation.
Aborting a first pregnancy can double the risks for women with family histories
of breast cancer.
For women with no family history of cancer or who are aborting a second
or subsequent pregnancy -- the risk increase would be less.
But any woman having an abortion stands a greater chance of developing
breast cancer than a second-hand smoker living with a chain smoker does
of developing lung cancer (at least 30 per cent versus no more than a 16-
or 17-per-cent greater risk).
Yet, we continue to broaden access to abortion while doing our level best
to outlaw public smoking. |

TV advertisers are beginning to get the message
Comments by the Webmaster on an email by Dave Nevers
|
IT’S
QUITE A WHILE ago that a UK men's organsiation launched a Target
Letter Writing Group. It was hard work
but our letters started paying off quite soon and we saw several adverts,
which demeaned men, disappear without trace.
The personal hand-written letter packs punch! especially when it contains
a threat to boycott an advertiser’s products.
Some business people take a while to convince. Our run-in with W.H.Smith
and others over the selling of the “All Men Are Bastards” diary
was a case in point. Their initial response to our reasonable request to
stop the insult to all men was “There is a demand for it.”
When it appeared the second year some members visited W.H.Smiths and showed
the insult to shoppers asking then to boycott the shop. Many customers
took back their goods to the shelves and left.
But the offensive diary appeared for a third year. By then members
had had enough and the retailers found out the hard way that it’s
difficult to sell a diary that is sprayed with sump oil or fruit juice
etc. The
diary has never been seen since!
It was therefore good to read this letter from Dave Nevers:
‘ I know I'm hypersensitive to the issue, but I'm seeing more and more
positive portrayals of fathers in TV commercials recently. For example:
‘ Toyota has a Camry ad where a Dad gets into the car with his daughter.
She pops in a heavy metal CD, and after a quick sideways glance,
Dad turns up the volume.
‘ Gerber has an ad where a young Dad is feeding his infant son in a high
chair. The two are obviously enjoying their time together.
‘ Jif' peanut butter, famous for its 'choosy Moms choose Jif' ads has a
new twist. In the new ad, Dad is teaching his young daughter to eat a folded-up
peanut butter sandwich, the same way his Dad taught him. The commercial
ends with a new tag line, 'Choosy Moms, and Dads, choose Jif.'
‘ Even my cable TV company has an ad with a Dad playing catch with his
son, then watching a baseball game on (cable) TV. After deciding that they
both like the 'players with the blue hats', Dad goes online (through his
cable modem) and we see father and son at a ballgame at 3Com Park in San
Francisco.
‘ Also, the negative ads showing Dads as incompetent, bumbling idiots have
declined in number. JC Penney's had some of the worst, but even they
now seem to have figured out that you can target ads to one gender without
trashing the other gender.
‘ Men and fathers need to take the time to contact companies with positive
ads and let them know we noticed. Similarly, we need to contact companies
running ads with the negative stereotypes and let them also know we noticed.’
Although this is a positive and welcome trend, we must not lower our
guard; we need to keep a constant vigil on the issue. A letter from ManKind
member Ian of Cambridge shows that this is being done. It also shows
what just one personal letter can do
Ian writes:
‘ Over several weeks I monitored my local newspaper, the Cambridge Evening
News (CEN) and its sister paper the Town Crier.
‘
In their recruitment section, they ran the attached adverts, and also
displayed these adverts on their website. These adverts asked for “mums
or bubbly ladies” to apply for jobs.
‘ On March 22nd I sent an email to both newspapers pointing out the discriminatory
nature of the adverts and attaching a copy of the advice from the Equal
Opportunities Commission (EOC).
‘ On March 24th, Chris Brown (Advertising Manager, CEN) replied.
‘ As I heard nothing more from the CEN, I sent a copy of the adverts to
the EOC on April 8th and received an acknowledgement and request for
more details, which I supplied.
‘ On April 15th I received confirmation from the EOC that they had contacted
CEN and I would be getting a reply (apology?) direct, which I have not
yet received.
‘ The adverts have since ceased!’
In December 2007, a woman noticed on sale in the Superdrug chain of shops a blow-up bunchbag in the form of a man. It included instructions of where to hit him to produce the most pain. The woman was horrieifes and so were the members of ManKind. A protest was immediately sent to Superdrug who took a very responsible attitude in the matter. They immediately withdrew the offending merchandise, sent a letter of apology to ManKind and said they would donate all the profit made on the sale of the item to ManKind; this amounted to almost £1,000. It can actually PAY to protest!

Feminists on both sides of the Atlantic - the few who remain - now have a new hate figure in the shape of the authoress Kathleen Parker. Her book "Save the Males" tells the truth about the massive damage feminism has wrought throughout the Western World. In particular she deals in truthful detail with the way in which feminists, aided and abetted by governments, the media and the law courts, have downgraded fathers thus perpetrating child abuse of the worst kind on so many children.
Its witty style makes the book easy to read but it doesn't deal lightly with the important issues. The writer is one of an increasing number of perceptive women who are genuinely concerned for the welfare of both men and children who are now suffering from the effects of the feminization of society. She cuts through the cant promulgated by so much of the media for decades past as she deals with marriage, sex, education, pornography etc. in a responsible way seldom seen in today's media. The book is by no means politically correct; it's not that shallow, but time and again, I gave a mental "Hear! Hear!" as nail after nail was hit right on the head.
Here are just a few quotes from the book, to whet your appetite:
"The same feminist movement that encouraged women to use their critical faculties also gave them the green light to be hostile and demeaning towards men."
"We've had a few decades of this shtick and have produced a new generation of children tattooed, pierced, angry, depressed, obese, anorexic, drugged, self-mutilating, whoring, pimping, failing."
"Boys had absorbed the message that life isn't fair and that girls are to blame . . . Nobody likes a teacher's pet, and girls were the culture's pets."
"Twenty-five million American children are more likely to see a father on television than in the home."
"A 2007 University of Washington study . . . revealed that women reported instigating domestic violence twice as often as men in the previous year."
"Women can kill their husbands with relative impunity as long as they can convince a jury that they were in an abusive marriage."
"The state's power in criminalizing fathers and alienating their children is an astounding development in a free democratic society."
"For the past thirty years or so, males have been under siege by a culture that too often embraces the notion that men are to blame for all life's ills."
This cartoon is mine. It's not in the book, but the sentiment is.
This is, without question, one of the most important books to be published this century and points the way to saving our society. Writers like Kathleen Parker deserve our support. The hardback book can be obtained from Amazon at about £10 including postage.
