| | The abortion industry is a billion-dollar business in the United States, and both the industry and its allies are among the biggest financial contributors to Democratic Party candidates. One of the largest political contributors to Democratic candidates is Emily's List, which raises money for women candidates who support various aspects of abortion, such as taxpayer funding, and oppose regulations such as parental notification and informed consent. | | The abortion industry is a billion-dollar business in the United States, and both the industry and its allies are among the biggest financial contributors to Democratic Party candidates.

| − | The overwhelming majority of scientific studies have shown that abortion causes an increase in breast cancer, including 16 out of 17 statistically significant studies.<ref>http://www.jpands.org/vol8no2/malec.pdf</ref> However, like the tobacco industry in the 1950s, the abortion industry has so far kept this important information away from much of the public. This information must, of course, be weighed against the benefits of abortion - such as saving the life of the mother during dangerous pregnancies, and improving quality of life for those who are unprepared to raise children. | + | The overwhelming majority of scientific studies have shown that abortion causes an increase in breast cancer, including 16 out of 17 statistically significant studies.<ref>http://www.jpands.org/vol8no2/malec.pdf</ref> However, like the tobacco industry in the 1950s, the abortion industry has so far kept this important information away from much of the public. |

| − | The movement in the United States which opposes abortion calls itself the "Pro-Life" movement; the movement which supports it labels itself the "Pro-Choice" movement. However, the movement that supports abortion is not "pro-choice" about funding it, but insist on government and insurance funding for abortion without any ability for objectors to opt out. The "Pro-Life" movement, on the other hand, routinely takes positions supporting use of the death penalty, which tends to suggest that they are not so much "Pro-Life" as they are "Pro-Religion." This confusion is furthered by the "Pro-Life" stance against the use of stem cell research, suggesting that the life of a fetus is more valuable than the life of adult humans with a terminal disease. | + | The movement in the United States which opposes abortion calls itself the "Pro-Life" movement; the movement which supports it labels itself the "Pro-Choice" movement.
