Abortion is an insidious scourge on our country

I WISH to thank all four correspondents , who, in (CL 30/01) alerted us to the possible Abortion Bill planned by our Premier Anna Bligh in early 2012 before the next election.

Abortion is already an insidious scourge on our country and we don’t need new laws unless they make the practice completely illegal.

Unfortunately our young women are unaware of the possible harm they are causing their bodies.

One of those risks is the increased risk of breast cancer.

Just alone in the last year, three studies from the United States, China and Turkey, confirmed that abortion is associated with increased risk of breast cancer.

Epidemiological studies have long confirmed that abortion is associated with increased risk of breast cancer.

I seriously doubt the abortionist would advise them of this risk.

 While I have no proof, but after having listened to three women who have had an abortion and who told their story of the agony they suffered from long periods of depression.

I cant help wonder if the increased incidents of depression in our country are not caused also by abortions?
