Hitler, eh? Don't you know that such references are the surest way to kill a thread? I must say that this is a bizarre community you have here, where a moderator participates in juvenile insults like that.
I agree with Chrys in that there should be more education; not just on "sex," but on consequences and maturity. This is partly the role of the parents, but should also be taught in schools to make up for the parents we all know will not do their part.
My initial questions dealt with the study, and the simple fact that one must consider the sources, and analyze how the conclusions were reached. Studies themselves try not to be biased. Write-ups by Jerry Falwell tend to be quite biased. I am not saying the findings are wrong. I'm saying you shouldn't just swallow the watered-down version of anything.
As for this bit:
>>Despite an overabundance of scientific findings, the National Cancer >>Institute continues to maintain that there is no established connection >>between breast cancer and abortion.
You have to ask first how old these studies are, who conducted them, and how many came to the same conclusions. "Overabundance" is vague. The National Cancer Institute does not generally jump on bandwagons and spread FUD. Here's what their website www.cancer.gov says:
>>
For other events, the data have been inconsistent. Specifically, the possible relationship between abortion and breast cancer has been examined in over thirty published studies since 1957. Some studies have reported statistically significant evidence of an increased risk of breast cancer in women who have had abortions, while others have merely suggested an increased risk. Other studies have found no increase in risk among women who had an interrupted pregnancy.
