Researchers Explain Why Having Baby Reduces Breast Cancer Chances

Seattle, WA (LifeNews.com) -- Researchers at a cancer center in Seattle have confirmed what previous studies have shown: women who bear children have a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. They say fetal cells 'transplanted" to the mother before birth are a source of this protective effect. That's something that abortion denies. Scientists at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center presented their results in the October 1 issue of Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. They studied a concept called fetal microchimerism, which is the ability of cells from a growing unborn baby to take up long-term residence in the mother's body. Vijayakrishna K. Gadi, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Washington and research associate at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, discussed the findings in a statement LifeNews.com obtained. "Our research found that these persisting fetal cells may be giving a woman an edge against developing breast cancer," he said. "This experiment of nature is all the more fascinating because for years doctors treated a number of different cancers by transplanting cells from one person to another." Pro-life groups say the findings show women should be encouraged to have children instead of having abortions as it helps protect them from contracting breast cancer
