The Proposal

Rating:
Summary: research versus propaganda
Review: People reading this book should be aware that recent researchhas shown that there is NO LINK between abortion and breast cancerrisk. As published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Jan 9,1997), Melbye and coworkers studied the health records of 1.5 millionDanish women over enough time to include 28.5 million person-years andconcluded "Induced abortions have no overall effect on the riskof breast cancer." They found a relative risk of 1.00, whichmeans that women who have induced abortions have exactly the same riskof breast cancer as those who do not have them. People oftencriticize studies because of a small sample size. In this case, theresearchers studied the amazing number of 1.5 million women, which isquite easy in a country with socialized medicine and detailed medicalrecords. Those who wish to scare women away from reproductive choicesimply do not have science on their side on this one. They need tofind another gimick...

Summary: NOT propaganda, but someone who dares speak the truth!
Review: The first half of this book really held my interest. The characters were likeable and the link between breat cancer and abortion was something I did not know about and was brought out convincingly by the author. The lack of media attention to this is a genuine scandal. I had to kind of force myself through the last third or so though - lost something in trying to make it exciting. If you want a really well-written book from start to finish that address abortion strongly, I would highly recommend "Deadline" by Randy Alcorn.

Summary: One of her best works
Review: This book is refreshingly well researched and the story well told. The author has perfectly used narration to drive a point home to all women who may not have realised the link between breast cancer and abortions. This book leaves you thouroughly entertained and thirsty for a sequel

Summary: NOT propaganda, but someone who dares speak the truth!
Review: This book is the only novel I've found that dares to speak the truth about the link between abortion and breast cancer. The Danish study published in the NE Journal of Medicine was fatally flawed--stats included over 60,000 women who said they'd not had abortions but who actually had legal abortions on record. Plus, 350,000 women in the study were too young to get breast cancer. In addition, 10 out of 11 U.S. studies confirm the link.

Kudos to Angela Hunt for daring to write a novel that tells it like it is. I highly recommend this book!
