Do We Really Want Breast Cancer Reduced?

Freedom Of Choice Act (FOCA) Bill, at both the Federal and Illinois State level, will increase premature births and increase the risk of developing breast cancer. President Obama, in his campaign, promised to sign FOCA into law, if passed at the Federal level. In Illinois, the FOCA Bill is on second reading in the House.

Passing FOCA will have the unintentional effect of deepening the breast cancer risk by removing information regarding this risk from informed consent.Many states have a "Woman's Right To Know" law, which mandates the risk benefit analysis prior to an abortion. In other words, either the state or a physician, or both, must under law, explain to the woman, prior to abortion, all of the medical risks, including a higher risk for breast cancer. The risk for premature births must also be explained because repeated abortions increase the risk for premature birth in subsequent pregnancies. 

Conspiracy Theory? I think so. Why, at the Federal and state level is there an urge to pass FOCA?
