It USED to be beleived that the actual act of getting an abortion, and thus radically changing hormonal balances, could increase the odds of getting breast cancer. That has been demonstrated to be false. Hence all the articles entitled 'abortion does not lead to breast cancer'.
It is the act of not being pregnant that leads to increased cancer, not the abortion. Obviously, an abortion leads to not being pregnant, so one can say 'abortion tied to breast cancer' but that is being purposefully misleading. The headline should be 'not being pregnant early and often leads to breast cancer'.
So I will concede that the left is somewhat muddying waters, but these are waters that have already been sullied by the right in this wildly inconsistent and misleading bill. (this is from a very quick research, I reserve the right to come back on this and call out the repubs more than I am doing right now)
If the right is to have even an ounce of consistency in their bill, as stated earlier, they need to force doctors to tell girls from the age of consent in their state (perhaps a year befor hand so that they have all the info when they are ready to have legally mandated sex) that every year they are not having a baby, they are increasing their odds of getting breast cancer, abd of course, they need to councel all pregnant women that
You know since this is such a pro women, give them all the facts type of law.

Well, if you're getting an abortion you're already pregnant. So yeah, you're ending your pregnancy early, which starts your menstrual cycles up earlier as well. In other words, abortion increases your chances of getting breast cancer.

Than on that theory we should go around to schools and tell girls to have sex quick and often and get pregant as quickly as possible to pervent Breast Cancer.

It doesn't prevent breast cancer, it reduces your likelihood of getting it. Regardless of all that, you wouldn't want to make your life unnecessarily difficult by having a child when you're not ready.

Why no, of course not. By responding to two cartoons by Gary Trudeau, author of the hugely popular Doonsebury comic strip, with the following post:

"Extremely left wing nut job Berkeley Breathed," you couldn't possibly have mixed up Trudeau with Berkeley Breathed, author of Bloom County.
Of course not.

Exactly who do you think you're fooling?

No, it sounds like planning ahead to not get yourself in that situation.

Let me consult my trusty Conservapedia and look up "denial." Here's what the Conservapedia has under "denial:"

Denial is a defense mechanism used by someone that is usually applied in situations that might prove the person wrong. It is mainly the assertion that a clarification is false, even though the claim is true.

Denial is usually unjustified- especially in situations that would cause the person's ego to deflate.
It is the opposite of admitting a flaw and is mainly a cowardice tactic.

Oh, I gotta look up "Liberal denial!" (I'm saving "Liberal arrogance" for some time special). Conservapedia is such great entertainment! I recommend it to everyone!

Not yet. Teenager's don't seem to be raised to make wise decisions these days but they are mentally capable of doing it. If you went back a couple of generations you learned to be an adult at a very young age. Now adults are acting like children well into their 30s.

I find it strange that I've never even looked at this Conservapedia but you have. Are you under the impression that it is mainstream in conservative realms? You do know that people can put w/e they want on the internet, right?
