TEXAS GIVES WOMEN CONSIDERING ABORTION A BROCHURE CONFIRMING ABORTION RAISES BREAST CANCER RISK; ALLEGED NEWS

STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS IN TEXAS RELEASED THE REVISED BOOKLET 'A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO KNOW' EARLIER THIS MONTH; ALLEGED NEWS.
The Texas booklet provides informed consent for women considering abortion, and includes new information about the possible risks of abortion, an unborn baby's development, and pregnancy/parenting resources; Alleged News. [1]

State law requires that abortion facilities give women the informed consent booklet at least 24 hours before an elective abortion; Alleged News. [1]
The information contained within the booklet explains how pregnancy and abortion can affect a woman's chances of developing breast cancer; Alleged News. [1]
'If you give birth to your baby, you are less likely to develop breast cancer in the future,' the booklet states; Alleged News. [1]

The booklet is available online at the following link 
https://dshs.texas.gov/wrtk/

Significant studies and research
Dr Angela Lanfranchi, a breast cancer surgeon and researcher in New Jersey, said there are 34 statistically significant studies worldwide which support the link between abortion and an increased breast cancer risk; Alleged News. [1]

Dr Joel Brind, who has carried out research on abortion risks, reported a new study in March that found a 58 percent to 108 percent increased risk of breast cancer for women who have abortions; Alleged News. [1]

The booklet was written to be helpful, user friendly and medically accurate, and careful study was made of medical and scientific research available, according to Carrie Williams, spokeswoman for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Alleged News. [1]

Link between Abortion and Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer is an horrendous affliction. Many of us have witnessed the long struggle those diagnosed with breast cancer go through.

Director Punam Kumar Gill's new documentary film Hush asked the question, 'Is there a link between abortion and breast cancer?' Alleged News. [2]

Director Gill discovered that studies from all over the world demonstrated a higher rate of breast cancer among women who have had abortions; Alleged News. [2]

Abortion and premature birth 
Every year, an estimated fifteen million children worldwide are born prematurely; Alleged News.[3]  
Complications from preterm birth, before thirty-seven weeks gestation, are the leading cause of death in children under five years of age; Alleged News. [3]

Increasing body of research has found a link between abortion and premature birth; Alleged News. [3]

In Director Punam Kumar Gill's documentary film Hush, she interviewed women who had multiple abortions, and later suffered from complications in their subsequent pregnancies; Alleged News. [3]
  One lady she interviewed lost ten children due to cervical incompetence; Alleged News.
  'My amniotic sacs would leak through, it would hourglass, and then pop and my babies would be born preterm,' she said; Alleged News. [3]

Abortion and suicide
Studies show the risk of suicide is elevated in women after abortion; Alleged News. [4]
  Researchers in Finland interviewed 600,000 women for a study that showed that women who became pregnant and had abortions were six times more likely to commit suicide than women who carried their babies to term; Alleged News. [4]

  Women who aborted were three times more likely to commit suicide than those who had not been pregnant; Alleged News. [4]

  The statistics thus showed that rather than increasing a woman's chances of suicide, carrying her unborn baby to term actually decreases them; Alleged News. [4]
  The study was based on both interviews and medical records; Alleged News. [4]

  A related study in the European Journal of Health showed similar results; Alleged News. [4]

TEXAS ABORTION CENTERS NOW REQUIRED TO BURY OR CREMATE ABORTED BABY BODIES; ALLEGED NEWS

STARTING DECEMBER 19th 2016, TEXAS ABORTION FACILITIES WILL NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO THROW ABORTED BABIES' BODIES IN LANDFILLS OR DOWN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL; ALLEGED NEWS. 
INSTEAD, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO BURY OR CREMATE THEM; ALLEGED NEWS.

The Texas Department of Health and Human Services proposed the rules in July this year; Alleged News. [1]
  They were finalized Monday 28th November 2016; Alleged News.

Application of Rules
The rules will apply to abortion centers and hospitals, but not to women who carry out chemical abortions in their homes; Alleged News. [1]
  The rules will also not apply to babies micarried at home, Alleged News. [1]

Fetal Body Part Trafficking
Several of the Center for Medical Progress videos showing Planned Parenthood trafficking fetal body parts involved Texas abortionists; Alleged News. [1]

  Now, instead of being able to profit from the aborted bodies of babies, Texas abortion centers will have to pay to have the little ones cremated or buried; Alleged News. [1]

Human Dignity
Texas HHS Spokesman Bryan Black said the rules were developed in order 'to ensure Texas law maintains the highest standards of human dignity,' Alleged News. [1]

Satanic temple
The satanic temple complained about the new Texas rule; Alleged News.
The group, which has challenged abortion regulations in a number of states, claimed the new regulation violates its members' religious beliefs, and they will not follow it; Alleged News. [2]

'The satanic temple believes burial rites are a well-established component of religious practice. This is undisputed in the entirety of US legal history,' the group said in its website statement.

  'The First Amendment protects our right to practice our beliefs, and under the Religious Freedom Reform Act [RFRA], the State must present a compelling reason for why they want to enforce rules that inhibit adherence to our religious practices,' the group continued.[2]

'Clearly, the State of Texas has no compelling reason because these rules were not enacted to promote health and safety, but rather to harass and burden women who terminate their pregnancies,' the group said: Alleged News. [2]

The satanic temple said its members should not be required to comply with the rule, and it mentioned the possibility of taking legal action; Alleged News. [2]

Disposal of aborted babies
During an August 2016 commission hearing, supporters said the rules are needed because abortion facilities treat unborn babies' bodies like garbage, and sometimes dispose of them down public sewer drains, Fox 7 reported; Alleged News. [2]

  Texas state Rep Mark Keough mentioned a 2005 case when a woman who worked near a Houston abortion facility saw tiny aborted babies' limbs and other body parts in a parking lot when a sewer line broke; Alleged New. [2]

  Previously, abortion facilities could dispose the bodies of aborted babies in landfills, or give the little ones to research groups; Alleged News. [2]

Center for Medical Progress
More states are moving to require dignified burials of the bodies of aborted babies, after Center for Medical Progress videos revealed evidence that Planned Parenthood and other aboriton facilities may be selling aborted babies' body parts; Alleged News. [2]

  The videos prompted a number of states, as well as the U.S. House to open investigations into the matter; Alleged News. [2]

Aborted babies' bodies 'steam cooked'
In Ohio, the State Attorney General's investigation found that Planned Parenthood was 'steam cooking' aborted babies' bodies before disposing of them in landfills; Alleged News. [2] and [3]

  A South Carolina investigation found Planned Parenthood facilities illegally discarding aborted babies' bodies in landfills, and fined them for doing this; Alleged News. [2] and [4]

Respect Sanctity of Life
The bodies of aborted babies should not be 'treated like medical waste and disposed of in landfills,' Texas Gov Greg Abbot previously said '. . . it is imperative to establish higher standards that reflect our respect for the sanctity of life', Alleged News.[2]

ABORTION IS MURDER!

THE KILLING OF PREBORN

CHILDREN MUST STOP.

The 8th Amendment is a piece of legislation that ensures the protection of the most basic human rights.
Science has proven to us that preborn babies are human beings and deserving of the protection of society.
At 21 days gestation, our hearts are already beating.
EVERY ABORTION ENDS A HUMAN LIFE! [1]

The 8th Amendment further protects the lives of pregnant women and allows the Doctors of Ireland to provide all necessary life-saving care to women experiencing medical emergencies during pregnancy. [1]

On June 4th 2016, Melissa Ohden - courageous survivor of an horrendous failed abortion - addressed cheering crowds in Dublin and declared;
"If Ireland doesn't stay protective of unborn life, who will?" [2]

FRANCE; NEW LAW BANS PRO-LIFE WEB SITES; ALLEGED NEWS

LIBERTE, EGALITE, FRATERNITE; THE NATIONAL MOTTO OF FRANCE RINGS OUT - 'LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY.' [1] 
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen - Declaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen - was passed by France's National Constituent Assembly in August 1789.[2]

Enshrined within the Declaration

The French National Assembly passed a bill to outlaw websites supposedly spreading misinformation about abortion; Alleged News.

The new law, reportedly still to pass the Senate, extends an existing protection against physical intimidation over abortion to digital media and would extend the scope of a 1993 law, which criminalizes 'false information' related abortions, to digital media: Alleged News.  [4]

Bruno Retailleau
Bruno Retailleau, who heads the Republicans party group in the Senate, says the bill 'is totally against freedom of expression'; Alleged News.
He spoke on radio, and claimed the bill went against the 'spirit' of the 1975 law legalizing abortion, which called for women to be informed of alternatives; Alleged News. [4]

Marion Marechal-Le Pen
Marion Marechal-Le Pen, French politician, has criticized the law, according to Brietbart report, calling it an 'aberration' and a frontal attack on 'freedom of expression'; Alleged News. [4]

LINK BETWEEN ABORTION AND SUICIDE; ALLEGED NEWS

STUDIES SHOW THE RISK OF SUICIDE IS ELEVATED IN WOMEN AFTER ABORTION; ALLEGED NEWS. [1]

Finland
Researchers in Finland interviewed 600,000 women for a study that showed that women who became pregnant and had abortions were six times more likely to commit suicide than women who carried their babies to term; Alleged News. [1]

  Women who aborted were three times more likely to commit suicide than those who had not been pregnant; Alleged News. [1]
  The statistics thus showed that rather than increasing a woman's chances of suicide, carrying her unborn baby to term actually decreases them; Alleged News. [1]
  The study was based on both interviews and medical records; Alleged News. [1]

European Journal of Health
A related study in the European Journal of Health showed similar results; Alleged News. 
  The study tracked 463,473 women who became pregnant between 1980 and 2004, and recorded their mortality rates after either giving birth, or undergoing abortions; Alleged News. [1]

  The study found that women who had abortions were more likely to die within 10 years after their abortions, than women who carried their babies to term; Alleged News. [1]
  Suicide was a common cause of death for the women who had undergone abortions, Alleged News. [1]

The British Medical Journal
A study in The British Medical Journal discovered that the rate of suicide in women after birth was 5.9 out of 100,000; Alleged News.
  Among women who had abortions, the rate was 34.7; Alleged News.
  The suicide rate for women who had not been pregnant was 11.3; Alleged News.
  As in the other study, carrying a baby to term was seen to reduce the suicide rate; Alleged News. [1]

Study by David C Reardon
A study  by David C Reardon of the Elliot Institute, studied 173,000 American women who became pregnant; and then either had abortions, or carried their baby to term; Alleged News. [1]

  The survey followed the women for eight years after the pregnancy ended; Alleged News.
  Reardon found that the women who aborted were 154% more likely to commit suicide than the women who gave birth; Alleged News.

  David Reardon cited another survey in his book 'Aborted Women, Silent No More'  which discovered that up to 60% of women who had abortions had subsequent suicidal feelings with 28% attempting suicide; Alleged News. [1]

One study reportedly found that teenage girls who had one or more abortions were 10 times more likely to commit suicide than those who had never aborted; Alleged News. [1]

Another study showed that the rate of psychiatric hospitalization for teenagers who had abortions is three times higher than that of other teens, Alleged News. [1]

Abortion links to Breast Cancer, Prematurity and suicide
It is essential for every woman to have full knowledge of decisions affecting her health and wellbeing.
  When considering a termination, it is important to know that not only is there a proven link between abortion and breast cancer, but that abortion can affect her subsequent pregnancies with prematurity difficulties; Alleged News. [2]

LINK BETWEEN ABORTION AND RISK OF PREMATURE BIRTH; ALLEGED NEWS

EVERY YEAR, AN ESTIMATED FIFTEEN MILLION CHILDREN WORLDWIDE ARE BORN PREMATURELY; ALLEGED NEWS. [1]
  Complications from preterm birth, before thirty-seven weeks gestation, are the leading cause of death in children under five years of age; Alleged News. [1]

One million infant deaths
In 2013, an estimated one million children died due to premature birth; Alleged News. [1]

In 1970, the preterm birthrate in the US was 6.6%. In 2006, it rose to 12.6%. Currently, the US has approximately 517,000 premature births annually, and the numbers continue to rise; Alleged News. [1]

In the last twenty years, there are only three nations where the rate of premature births has not risen; Alleged News. [1]

Link between abortion and premature birth
Increasing body of research has found a link between abortion and premature birth; Alleged News. [1]
  In research, a 'link' is properly termed a 'positive association' or 'increased risk' or 'risk factor'.
  It does not define a cause and effect relationship between the risk factor and the condition.
  It is important to know that having a risk factor does not mean you will definitely come down with a particular condition, just that you are at an increased risk of developing it. [1]

Documentary film Hush
In Director Punam Kumar Gill's new documentary film Hush, she interviewed women who had multiple abortions, and later suffered from complications in their subsequent pregnancies: Alleged News. [1]
  One lady she interviewed lost ten children due to cervical incompetence; Alleged News.
  "My amniotic sacs would leak through, it would hourglass, and then pop and my babies would be born preterm," she said; Alleged News. [1]

Subjective research to objective research
Director Gill turned her investigation from the subjective experiences of the women she interviewed, to the objective research being carried out on risk factors for preterm birth; Alleged News. [1]

During pregnancy, the cervix is designed to stay tightly closed. This is in order to protect the developing baby inside the uterus [womb].
  Abortion providers perform a surgical abortion. This is done by introducing instruments into the body of the woman, which force the cervix open.
  This action can weaken, or tear, the cervical muscles.
  Thereafter some women in subsequent pregnancies may experience 'cervical incompetence' and be unable to carry their baby to term.

Dr John Thorp
Director Gill interviewed Dr John Thorp in order to find out his expert opinion on the link between abortion and premature birth.
  Dr. Thorp is the North American Editor of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the interim Director of the University of North Caolina Center for Women's Health Research; Alleged News. 
  Doctor Thorp has spent his career researching the risk factors of premature birth, Alleged News. [1]

  Dr Thorp told Director Gill, 'A prior termination [of pregnancy] puts somebody at about one and a half to two times the risk of prematurity in a subsequent pregnancy. Not only does it increase the risk of a preterm birth, it even more so increases the risk of these very tiny babies being born early, where all the death, disability, and expense arises', Alleged News. [1]

  This means that an abortion increases a woman's risk of her next pregnancy being premature.
  Her risk of this increases by about one and a half to two times.
  The risk to the premature babies is also increased. Factors which can arise are death of the baby, disability of the baby, expenses. [1]

Meta-analysis
In 2009, a meta-analysis [study of the available research] was published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
  Thirty seven studies were examined. The meta-analysis found that there was a 36% increased risk of preterm birth after one abortion and a 93% increased risk after two or more abortions; Alleged News. [1]

In 2013, a study on the link between abortion and premature birth was published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Canada; Alleged News. [1]
  This study found that extreme preterm births of twenty-four weeks or less, were most impacted by abortion; Alleged News. [1]
  Extreme premature babies are the most likely to die, and the most expensive to medically care for.
  Such preterm births were more than twice as likely for women who had one abortion; Alleged News. [1]

Dr Martin McCaffrey
Dr McCaffrey is a specialist in neonatal medicine in North Carolina; Alleged News.
  Doctor expressed his frustration that despite more than eighty studies showing an association between abortion and premature birth, few women know about the risks when facing their pregnancy decision.

Premature Births
It is essential for every woman to have full knowledge of decisions affecting her health and wellbeing.
  When considering termination, it is important to know that not only is there a proven link between abortion and breast cancer, [2] but that abortion can affect her subsequent pregnancies with prematurity difficulties.
