"The National Cancer Institute, which used to say on its Web site that the
best studies showed
'no association between abortion and breast cancer,' now says the evidence
is inconclusive.
A Web page of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used to say
studies showed that education about condom use did not lead to earlier or
increased sexual activity. That statement, which contradicts the view of
'abstinence only' advocates, is omitted from a revised
version of the page.
..."Information that used to be based on science is being systematically
removed from the
public when it conflicts with the administration's political agenda."
