[FACT] Abortion can cause breast cancer_Expert

According to FACH president, Dr. Nkechi
Asogwa, many cases of breast cancer have been
linked to the aftermath of an abortion.

The many disadvantages of having an abortion
cannot be overemphasised, and according to The
Foundation for Africa Cultural Heritage, cancer
is now one of the risks associated with
undergoing an abortion.
According to FACH president, Dr. Nkechi
Asogwa, many cases of breast cancer have been
linked to the aftermath of an abortion.
Asogwa further said that contraceptives and
other birth control pills that have been banned in
the United States due to their side effects were
being shipped to Nigeria, adding that Nigerians
deserve to be told the medical risks involved in
taking birth control pills, to enable them to make
informed choice.
According to her:
"When you terminate a pregnancy you end many
ongoing processes in the body such as the
preparation of breast for the secretion of milk. So
the tissues that were cut off suddenly would
become fragile and they can trigger the
formation of cancerous cells in the breast. There
are about five health implications attached to
most of these drugs and that was why they were
banned in the West. But here, no one is asking
questions"
Bomedical scientist, Obianuju Ekeocha speaking
at the forum also warned that abortion might
damage the womb and lead to future infertility.
She called on the Federal Government to resist
any pressure from international partners to
legalise abortion
