Increasing Awareness

     A full-term pregnancy lowers the risk of breast cancer; having an abortion increases the risk. This is just another thing that Heartbeat of Toledo is sharing with clients in order to save lives.
     According to studies, undifferentiated cells in the breasts which estrogen stimulates to proliferate during pregnancy so that there will be enough milk-producing tissue to feed the baby after birth are vulnerable to carcinogens, and can ultimately grow into cancer cells. Importantly, during the last eight weeks of pregnancy, other hormones differentiate these cells into milk-producing cells. In the process of growth potential, and cancer-forming potential, these cells are turned off. That is why a full-term pregnancy lowers the risk of breast cancer later in life. Therefore, if a woman who has gone through some weeks or months of a normal pregnancy chooses abortion, she is left with more of these cancer-vulnerable cells in her breasts than were there before she got pregnant, which raises her risk of breast cancer later in life.

Choosing not to have an abortion is the most preventable risk factor for breast cancer!
Choosing to go full-term with a pregnancy, lowers your risk. That is why if you decide that you do not want to have a baby, that you should choose adoption. Not only are you saving the life of an innocent being, it could save your own life.
