    Default Pink M&Ms

    Have you noticed all the merchandise for breast cancer awareness? If not, you don't get out much! It far surpasses advertising for any other cause I can think of. M&Ms, jogging shoes, clothes, car magnets, cereal... there's even "Breast Cancer Awareness Month": October. I always noticed this and wondered if they put as much money into finding the cure as they did into advertising.

    Well, this morning, reading the news, I came across this tidbit:
    http://www.citizenlink.org/CLBriefs/A000004246.cfm

    What an unholy alliance! The Breast Cancer Foundation donates to America's number one abortion provider. Abortions, especially first trimester abortions, CAUSE breast cancer. Seems to me as if they aren't truly racing for the CURE; they are racing to line their pockets!

    I stopped giving to cancer research long ago, when I found out that many cancer research organizations fund embryonic stem cell research. Besides being morally wrong, embryonic stem cell research has shown that these stems cells, once again, CAUSE cancerous growths when injected in test subjects. Why fund something that works directly against your objective?

    I have lost faith in cancer research organizations. Either they are blinded by their ideology or they are just out for the money. I would love to see an org TRULY working to defeat this disease, and I believe that many of the scientists are trying. But I doubt that any money I would donate would go toward USEFUL research. Instead, it seems likely to be funneled toward goal-defeating enterprises.
    Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
    Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
    Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
    Blessed be the name of the Lord!
    Blessed be Your name!

    I had not heard of that before, J, but I'll do my research now before I give to such organizations.

    "Abortions, especially first trimester abortions, CAUSE breast cancer"


    No they do not. This is a myth, a lie.

    After adjusting for known breast cancer risk factors, the researchers found that induced abortion(s) had no overall effect on the risk of breast cancer. The size of this study and the manner in which it was conducted provides substantial evidence that induced abortion does not affect a woman's risk of developing breast cancer.

    Nienna, I decided the same thing a long time ago about major fundrasing orgs. They are generally bloated, and I don't trust their agendas. I'm not much into redundant animal torture, either. For me, though, it all started with seeing a a list of which groups the United Way actually supports.

    The results of the study that you quote above were refuted by a member of the 2003 NCI conference that you linked to:

    "link"? So... you don't believe it's a link?

    Anyway...

    Going to both sites, let me share what I see. Jeff's site names names and gives specific reference to studies. It actually backs up what it says.

    Your site, like most things that lean to the left, is mostly general comments, assumptions, and thinly veiled accusations. To complete the National Enquirer-ish feel, it finally references a study... done four years ago... in Denmark.

    BTW, when something doesn't fall in line with your agenda that doesn't mean it's "biased".

Possibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon American society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupid, cruel sentimentalism." - From The Pivot of Civilization by Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.

    What are you talking about? The site referenced here is "anti-abortion". The site I referenced is "The American Cancer Society". Which one do you think would provide the best information on cancer?

    Again, your "reference site" is an anti-abortion site. My site is the American Cancer Society. Your site says abortions cause cancer. Well, that is the puprose of your site, to scare people away from having abortions.

    If we were to discuss, say, races and their equality and differences, would you expect me to believe a Nazi site or some scientific site?

    Apparently you weren't paying attention to what started the thread.
