Estrogen is like “rocket fuel” for immature breast tissue, and breast cancer has been rising around the world since the advent of the Pill (largely estrogen). Malcolm Pike looked into this in 1981 and found that the Pill AND abortion increase risk. https://t.co/IQK0ifYAQJ

Abstract in brief
- The study found that young women under 32 who used oral contraceptives before their first full-term pregnancy had a higher risk of developing breast cancer, especially with longer durations of use, reaching about twice the risk after six years.
- Using oral contraceptives after a woman's first full-term pregnancy did not seem to affect breast cancer risk.
- Additionally, having a first-trimester abortion (either spontaneous or induced) before the first full-term pregnancy was linked to a 24 times higher risk of breast cancer.]
