Speakout: Breast cancer-abortion link slighted
By Leslie Hanks, Special to the News
September 23, 2005
As the leaves begin to turn gold each fall, cities begin to turn pink.
Everywhere one looks one finds pink ads, pink attire, pink hats, pink tennis shoes, pink teas - yes The Republic of Tea makes a Sip for the Cure. The Race for the Cure (for breast cancer) has become the cause celebre for the nation.
A perusal of a recent O, The Oprah Magazine found 14 pages of ads for the politically correct event. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is proclaimed on radio commercials, seen in huge displays in shopping malls and their pink ribbons decorate buildings all over town. Has there ever before been a more comprehensive marketing campaign? On Oct. 2, Denver's Clear Channel radio stations, 9News and Safeway will sponsor this year's Race for the Cure to raise funds for a cure for breast cancer.
The participating women are highly motivated to find a cure for the dread disease, and who can blame them? In the recent past, however, a growing body of evidence has been amassed linking breast cancer and the most avoidable risk factor for it: abortion. One can study the statistics and come to one's own conclusions, but the data found on www.abortionbreastcancer.com is pretty persuasive.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation lost a founding member of its National Hispanic Latina Advisory Council, Eve Sanchez Silver, because of her concern about the foundation giving funds to Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the nation. Sanchez Silver asking, "Why aren't women being told?" Her concerns can be found at www.pinkmoney.org.
As early as 1986, government scientists wrote a letter to the British medical journal The Lancet acknowledging that abortion is a cause of breast cancer. They wrote, "Induced abortion before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer" (The Lancet, Feb. 22, 1986).
Aborting one's first pregnancy - when the breast's cells are changing from nonmilk-producing to those able to sustain life - apparently leaves the cells in a vulnerable state to toxins, leading to a serious increase in one's risk for developing breast cancer later in life.
As the abortion-breast cancer link's strongest proponent, Joel Brind, Ph.D., explains, "So full-term pregnancy is protective; it lowers breast cancer risk. But if that pregnancy is cut off artificially somewhere in the middle after some weeks or months, [a woman] has far more cells in her breasts that are capable of proliferation, and that have proliferated, than she did at the beginning of the pregnancy, which translates statistically into a higher chance of getting breast cancer later in life."
Why does giving grants to Planned Parenthood, the organization that may be most responsible for the dire increase in breast cancer rates since Roe v. Wade, make any sense? Why do the mainstream media insist on a media blackout about the most relevant topic to women's health today? Why do editors routinely ignore the queries begging them to reveal the truth? Do they believe women can't handle the truth?

PASTOR ENYART REPORTS:
Pro-life activists met with one of Colorado’s Deputy Attorney Generals, Jason Dunn, and prosecutor Jeanne Smith to inform them of abortion industry violations state-wide of the mandatory reporting law for suspicion of sexual activity with underage children. Colorado’s law does not empower the Attorney General’s office to investigate or prosecute local crimes. However, Colorado Right to Life vice president Leslie Hanks, sidewalk counselor Jo Scott, and Denver Bible Church pastor Bob Enyart argued that this matter rose to the level of the Attorney General’s office because of its multi-jurisdictional nature. Also, the pro-lifers asked Dunn to recommend that Attorney General John Suthers use the lawful authority he does possess to issue a statement to make statewide local law enforcement aware that, because of apparent violations of mandatory reporting, abortion clinics are systematically aiding those who commit incest and rape against children in the cover-up of these crimes.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, and the National Abortion Federation, operate facilities across the state, from Ft. Collins, through Denver and Colorado Springs, to Durango. Longtime prosecutor Smith was familiar with the frequent prosecutions throughout Colorado of sexual predators for crimes against minors, but could not recall any examples of cases arising from abortion clinics complying with Colorado’s mandatory reporting law. Smith, and Deputy Attorney General Dunn, stated that in preparation for this meeting they had discussed the possibility of multi-jurisdictional issues. The pro-lifers played recorded phone-call evidence, obtained by Life Dynamics of Denton Texas, of Colorado abortion clinics telling a woman posing as a 13-year-old to forget that you told us the 22-year-old age of the man who had impregnated her. Both lawyers indicated that such information seemed insufficient to prompt the AG to investigate. Enyart indicated the statistical evidence, since studies show that 60% to 80% of young teens impregnated have been violated by adults, and many of those children are brought to abortion clinics, and yet Colorado’s law requiring reporting from such workers who “suspect” is utterly ignored. The officials asked if the pro-lifers had direct evidence that any abortion organization had centralized training procedures or policies specifically designed to evade the mandatory reporting law, which the pro-lifers did not. Leslie Hanks then said, “These are children’s lives that are being ruined. This seems so wrong, that you are telling us that, as citizens, Colorado’s Attorney General’s office cannot look into the evidence, and that we, as citizens, are the ones who would have to investigate.”
Aside from informing these officials of this concern, the September 16, 2005 meeting yielded three action items. The Deputy AG agreed to raise the matter with Suthers of the AG issuing a statement to law enforcement; the Deputy agreed to inform the pro-lifers of the outcome of that request; and it was agreed that both parties would gather further information and meet again, possibly next month.
This report should not be understood to imply that abortion clinics would be less condemnable if they reported rather than systematically ignored their suspicion of child rape. Abortion clinics murder unborn children. And abortion is always wrong. In this instance, our love and concern for violated young teenagers who get brought to an abortion clinic, often by the very adult who raped them, parallels our effort to save the life of each and every unborn child, and to expose the wickedness of the abortion industry.

Racing Against Hope – Why aren’t Women being told the truth?
As the leaves begin to turn gold, each fall cities begin to turn pink. Not exactly complimentary colors. Pink suggests spring, renewal and growth.
Everywhere one looks one finds pink ads, pink attire, pink hats, pink tennis shoes, pink teas – yes The Republic of Tea makes a Sip for the Cure. The Race for the Cure has become the cause celebre for the nation. A recent perusal through an Oprah Magazine found fourteen pages of ads for the politically correct event. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is proclaimed on radio commercials, seen in huge displays in shopping malls and their pink ribbons decorate buildings all over town. Has there ever before been a more comprehensive marketing campaign?

provider of abortion in the nation. Not only is Eve asking, “Why aren’t women being told?” she also wants to know why Planned Parenthood targets people of color with its
policies. Her concerns can be found at www.pinkmoney.org.
Asking tough questions doesn’t bother Eve. What bothers her is the silence in the U.S. media. Taking her cause to Australia has revived fresh interest for her message, where it
hit a brick wall in her own nation.
When the truth begins to seep out of the bulwark standing against it, the racer’s anger will begin to simmer. They will demand to know why some pretty important information
was withheld from them.
As early as 1986, government scientists wrote a letter to the British Journal Lancet acknowledging that abortion is a cause of breast cancer. They wrote, “Induced abortion

Do they believe women can’t handle the truth?
Absent that, all the pink attire, buttons, and tennis shoes in the country won’t restore health while one of the main causes of disease is denied.
All the running and racing for a cure will never happen as long as women go against nature, destroy their progeny and the beautiful functions for which their bodies were incredibly designed.
Keep the color pink for the time when women rediscover, with perfect joy, their majestic endowment as life givers.
Until that day is embraced and renewed, the colors of October shall remain naturally those of falling leaves.

'March of the Penguins' vs. March for Women's Lives
By Jill Stanek
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
Last week, my 5-year-old grandson and I went to see the movie, "March of the Penguins."
MOTP is a documentary that tells of the incredible sacrifices emperor penguins make to reproduce, protect their eggs, and safeguard their babies' lives in the harshest conditions on earth.
In light of the pro-life issue, I watch animal documentaries and dramas with mixed emotions. On one hand, there are usually a couple of scenes about pregnancy or giving birth corroborating that, yes, on a gut level, people do recognize the sanctity of life.
For instance, an early scene of "Finding Nemo" shows Nemo's desperate father, whose wife and incubating eggs have just been devoured by a predator, spotting Nemo, his lone surviving embryonic progeny, in a see-through egg. Instantly his despair turns to joy. He certainly does not consider his preborn son a blob of tissue.
On the other hand, scenes like this magnify the depravity of people who condone abortion, and I am refilled with angst.
MOTP hit me harder than most. Almost every scene and narrative verified the beauty of life and the rightness of protecting it.
Every March, as the Antarctic summer ends, scattered tribes of emperor penguins travel up to 70 miles to an ancient inland breeding ground, chosen instinctively because this is where ice is the thickest and will remain solid until the following summer, so the young won't fall through it. Upon arrival, penguins find mates with whom they are monogamous for a yearlong breeding cycle.
In early June, females lay one egg, and, as pro-abort actor Morgan Freeman narrated, "From now on the couple has but a single goal – keeping the egg alive ... The tiny beating heart within the shell cannot survive more than a moment in the freezing air."
(Mr. Freeman, do you ever contemplate what you read?)
By now, parents have gone without food for two months, and mom has lost 1/3 of her body weight. In a chivalrous role reversal, dads assume responsibility for their eggs for an incredible two additional months, so moms can trek 70 miles back to the sea for food and to regain strength to care for their hatchlings.
Sometimes when mom transfers the egg to dad, it cracks. In that case, narrated Freeman, "The couple can only watch as the ice claims their egg and the life within it."
Throughout the harshest winter in the world, when there is no sunlight, temperatures drop to -80 degrees, and winds blow 100 miles per hour, fathers huddle together to protect their eggs, nestled atop gentle, clawed feet and underneath a fold of warm, feathered skin.
Mothers instinctively return when hatchlings are a couple of days old. Most of them return, anyway. Seals have killed a few. "With a snap of its jaw," said Freeman, "the seal actually takes two lives – one of the mother and one of her unborn chick, who will never be fed."
Mothers assume care of the chicks so fathers can trod 70 miles to the sea to eat. For the next several months the two will take turns caring for their baby and shuttling back and forth to the ocean, until their baby is old enough to fend for itself.
As I watched MOTP, I wondered how people could ooh and aww when baby penguins pecked out of their shells, or cover their eyes when a giant petrel attacked a baby penguin, yet not give a thought to the dismemberment and killing of human babies.
I wondered, what would it take for people to connect? I juxtaposed the willingness of penguins to freeze and starve to death for their babies to the unwillingness of humans to forfeit any indulgence whatsoever for their babies.
I remembered last year's March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., when pro-aborts gathered to bolster their right to kill babies.
I thought, maybe a penguin movie analogy would help people understand.
The movie would open with militant feminist penguins marching to their ancient political breeding ground, where lusting, self-centered males waited. There they would all serial-mate, despising the prospect of producing babies. Should the unthinkable happen, close-ups would show frenzied penguins pecking open eggs and ripping babies apart, or inserting little hoses into the eggs to suction babies out. Fathers would abandon mothers who changed their minds and wanted to keep their eggs to fend for themselves.
But a movie like that won't ever be made, because it would expose anti-lifers as demented.
Still, I sometimes wish humans would behave more like animals.
Jill Stanek fought to stop "live-birth abortion" after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. In 2002, President Bush asked Jill to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. In January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders of the past 30 years. To learn more, visit Jill's blog, Pro-life Pulse.

Dear Pro-lifers,
Louisiana and Mississippi pregnancy resource centers are in desperate need of our help. Four New Orleans area pregnancy resource centers were destroyed by Katrina, and it t is unclear how incapacitated the Mississippi PRCs are, because no one has been able to get through to any of their directors.
That's the bad news. The good news is that five of eight Louisiana abortion clinics were also destroyed.
The PRCs in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and other outer Louisiana areas have been inundated by families needing diapers and formula. Area hospitals are also asking the centers to recover post-partum patients.
The formula companies say they have sent huge shipments to the area, but they're not getting to the PRCs.
I spoke with three PRC directors in Louisiana yesterday, and they gave me a list of their greatest needs. We are going to collect donations in the Chicago area over the weekend at Parkview Christian Church (11100 Orland Parkway, Orland Park, Illinois 60467), and a semi is going to deliver them to Louisiana on Monday (September 12).
Here are the needs, in order of urgency:
1. Formula: Advanced Similac with iron; Enfamil with iron; any other formulas - dry, condensed, or ready to serve
2. Diapers, especially newborn
3. Infant car seats
4. Pedialyte
5. Bassinets
6. Baby wipes
More than that, the PRCs desperately need money. They need to finance mobile medical units to go into the devastated areas as they are accessible. A director told me that there is lots of giving going on to churches and relief agencies, but the PRCs are being overlooked.
We also need money to pay for the semi truck gas. (The truck and driver's time are being donated.) Donations for gas can be made to Concerned Women for America of IL, P. O. Box 188, Palos Heights, IL 60463.
There is also a need for volunteers to go to Louisiana and stay for a week or two or longer, particularly men for protection. A nurse at the Shreveport PRC says she will help find housing.
Donate directly online to: www.ctlm.org. These funds will go to finance mobile medical units and restoring pregnancy care centers.
Please distribute this alert widely.
Thank you very much,
Jill Stanek
