| | :::Correct me if I'm wrong, does that not mean, then, by the same reasoning, abstinence also increases your risk of breast cancer? Does this mean that, following this reasoning logically, if you're female, you should be as promiscuous as possible, never use contraception, never have an abortion and try not to have a miscarriage in order to reduce your risk of breast cancer by the maximum degree?

| | + | "the number of cases has significantly increased since the 1970s when abortion was legalized". This is a [[Logical Fallacy]]. yes, the rates of breast cancer have risen since the 70s, but so has vitually every form of cancer, due to a variety of causes, such as pollution, longer life expectancy, etc. you can't blame the increase of a single type of cancer on one medical procedure that you afre morally against just because there has been vague evidence-never proven, and shown to be highly unlikely by a study done at harvard-that abortion may be linked to breast cancer. |
