Abortion And Contraceptives Can Cause Breast Cancer, Research Says.

Health experts under the auspices of The Foundation for Africa Cultural Heritage have raised the alarm that abortion could lead to bosom cancer.

According to FACH president, Dr. Nkechi Asogwa, many cases of bosom cancer have been linked to the aftermath of an abortion.

She said that contraceptives and other birth control pills that have been banned in the United States due to their side effects were being shipped to Nigeria.

Asogwa said that Nigerians deserve to be told the medical risks involved in taking birth control pills, to enable them to make informed choice.
