74. Are those those shady organizations that tell women that abortions cause breast cancer?

Those religious organizations that pretend to offer pregnant women "options" but instead browbeat rape victims into giving birth, while telling poor women that abortions cause cancer? Great.

We see the utter failure of letting the private sector provide health care and health research.
