		<description><![CDATA[   This is an older article to remind us what has been known for awhile but is frequently denied: There is a medically significant increased risk of breast cancer caused by abortion.  My guess is many folks just don't want to believe it, thus causing more women to suffer late effects of their uninformed choice.]]></description>

<p>&#8220;The Dolle study, conducted with the prestigious Janet Daling group of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle — one of the first to receive recognition for highlighting the abortion-breast cancer link — concerns the link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Both Curlin and Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, an internist who also serves on the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, said they believe that as the gap between health care and religion has widened, the quality of care for patients has diminished.
Commentary: Since the 1970's studies have shown a positive correlation between health and faith.  It is more recent that some have protested what some consider to be a conflict between religion and science.  However, most patients find hope in medicine practiced with compassion and sensitivity to their spiritual awareness.  L.F.]]></description>

Between keeping pace with caring for patients, insurance company demands, government regulations, and the latest medical technology, there are never enough hours in a day."]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The TMA has a special link to help physicians stay in compliance with state and federal regulations.  These regulations are so onerous that even the TMA calls it the Calendar of Doom.  In other words, if you don&#8217;t comply with these regulations by these dates then you&#8217;re practice is doomed because you will not receive Medicare nor Medicaid payments.  It looks life a list of reasons to switch to a cash only practice.     L. Flower, M.D.<br />

• The program has been in effect since 2007, and provides preventative health care, including breast and cervical cancer screenings to more than 100,000 low-income, Texas women.
• Texas law prohibits tax dollars from funding abortion providers and their affiliates and has since the program's inception.
• Under federal law, states administer Medicaid and have the right to set the criteria for "qualified providers" in the program, not Washington. This is exactly what Texas has done, in accordance with Texas law. Texas law prohibits tax cheats, deadbeat parents or people suspected of serious abuse from participating as a provider in Medicaid, even though federal law does not. ......• In FY 2010, nearly 80 percent of women served received WHP services from non Planned Parenthood providers.]]></description>
