How Abortion
Increases Risk
When you become pregnant your body produces a
surge of the hormone estrogen. This causes the cells in the breast to multiply rapidly in
the first half of the pregnancy. In the second half, other hormones are produced to stop
this rapid growth and to direct these cells to perform new functions such as producing
milk. These last changes protect the cells against cancer-causing substances. When you
have an abortion, all of those millions of cells are left immature and growing too fast.
Without the second surge of hormones to turn off the growth and direct the cell, they are
left open and vulnerable to cancer.
