In reply to the discussion: Abortion safer than giving birth, study says [View all]yardwork
(61,539 posts)24. One of the reasons I posted this is because of the myth that abortion causes breast cancer.
I've even heard doctors repeat this incredible lie - that having an abortion greatly increases women's chances of getting breast cancer. It's nonsense.
I saw here on DU the other day a poster state that the morning after pill causes "severe bleeding" and can cause death. Ahem. It's the morning after pill. It's taken within hours or even minutes of pregnancy. There isn't a placenta yet.
