Study: Depo Provera Use Increases Breast Cancer Risk
Study: Depo Provera Use Increases Breast Cancer Risk
A new study of women using the Depo Provera birth control drug finds the risk of breast cancer is increased, according to information released today from the on Abortion/Breast Cancer.
The group notes a study of 1,028 women ages 20-44 in the April 15, 2012 issue of Cancer Research found that recent users of Depo Provera (DMPA) for 12 months or more had a statistically significant 2.2-fold increased risk of developing invasive breast cancer.
The authors, Christopher Li and his team (including Janet Daling) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center called it the “first large scale U.S. study” examining the link between Depo Provera and breast cancer. They concluded it’s the fifth study “conducted over a diverse group of countries that have observed that recent DMPA use is associated with a 1.5- to 2.3-fold increased risk of breast cancer.”
Li’s team said the 2003 Women’s Health Initiative study of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) “strongly suggest” that agents containing progestin, “medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), in particular, increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer.” MPA combined with estrogen raised risk by 24%, while estrogen only replacement therapy “had a nonstatistically significant reduced risk.”
Joel Brind, professor of human biology and endocrinology at Baruch College, City University of New York, commented on the new study, saying, “In the case of DMPA or any other progestin-only pill, the estrogen component is provided by the woman’s own ovarian estrogen.”
The DMPA-breast cancer link supports an abortion-breast cancer link in the same way cancer-causing oral contraceptives (the pill) and combined (estrogen + progestin) HRT, says Karen Malec of the Abortion/Breast Cancer group. Malec faulted the Obama administration for promoting cancer-causing drugs and devices at the same time it accuses pro-life advocates of engaging in a so-called “War on Women” by standing up for conscience rights on abortion and birth control.
“Cancer groups should have implemented a nationwide awareness campaign about the DMPA-breast cancer link, but it’s no surprise they didn’t,” Malec continued. “They’ve lied to women about the risks of abortion, oral contraceptives and combined hormone replacement therapy for decades. They still haven’t reported that two studies since 2009 strongly linked oral contraceptive use with the deadly triple-negative breast cancer.”
My Two Cents Worth
A local pharmacist told me what I suspected, all along; that many of these birth control drugs causes horrific “birth defects,” when mothers who take it, during the first few months of pregnancy, not knowing they’re pregnant and it could harm their babies.
Proof that, what the Catholic Church says that Artificial Contraceptives are not only “Intrinsically Evil,” they are detrimental to the health and life of the mother and health and life of her unborn baby, should she get pregnant.
Babies born with half a heart, half a brain stem, etcetera, are born and only live a short amount of times, thanks to the foolishness of the doctors who give this drug to mothers; and mothers who take this drug, from their doctors.
More folks to pray for on my rosary, tonight.
Depo-Provera, doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer – Obamacare Subsidizes Cancer-Causing Birth Control Drugs

Direct Quotation from 2 paragraphs, in this article:
“As the Obama Administration’s assault on religious liberties and individual freedom from the HHS mandate continues, the liberal, feminist blog “Jezebel” alerts readers that the injectable contraception shot, Depo-Provera, doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer.”
“Doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer. That’s worth repeating. The shot is used by about 1.2 million women in this country. Because of the HHS mandate, now women will be able to get this breast cancer-inducing drug for free and have it paid for by their employer, willingly or not.”
“Depo-Provera, doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer.”

“One of the goals of this book is to make this complicated subject understandable. Too often, “experts” (the researchers behind the studies) not only tell us what a study means – they tell us what “they think” the implications of the study are. The readers are often left in the frustrating position of trusting the researchers’ opinions and are unable to critique the results for themselves. This subject is too important to leave the facts and their interpretation in the hands of a few experts, many of whom are subject to intense political and financial pressures. It is time for the people to decide for themselves whether or not today’s women are at significantly increased risk for breast cancer because of having an induced abortion at an early age and/or by taking oral contraceptives at a young age.”
“Almost every reader of this book has a mother, a sister, an aunt or a friend who has or had breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the U.S. in women ages 20-59. In the U.S. nearly 1 out of every 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.”
