Since 1957, a total of 70 studies worldwide have been published with specific data on induced abortion and breast cancer. Of these, approximately 80% have provided evidence linking induced abortion to the later development of breast cancer.
I'm not a scientist, and I'm sure there are studies that find contrary conclusions. But I have to ask with such a wide body of evidence that suggests there may be a link. Why don't cancer associations develop a more nuanced position?

This is very interesting, and highly controvesial! A link between aborting and breast cancer? I'd like to see a bit more research done to show any sort of correllation because it sounds slightly rediculous.
I am working as a community ambassador with Pantene Beautiful Lengths and Million Inch Chain. Together we are trying to gather 1 million inches of hair and turn them into wigs. We plan on providing these wigs free of charge to women affected by chemo related hair loss. For a lot of women that lose their to cancer treatment, it can be very extremely difficult to deal with. Our ultimate goal is to support these women in their difficult struggle by providing them with the confidence boost they may need.
I'm asking if any women out there could please help out by donating to this very worthy cause. You can either donate your hair, or pledge to donate your hair at a later time. If you would like more information please visit this website.

I would have to question the legitimacy of abortionbreastcancer.ca's "review". Even their presentation of the alternative viewpoint is inundated with bias. I can't comment on the overall balance of the research, but when organizations attempt to present two sides of the argument and simply rephrase their opinions under the heading of presenting the other side's findings, one must question the value of the argument.
Pinkamelie, Good luck with your campaign. my sister-in-law donated her hair a few years back.
Doug, I'll admit the site is biased - it's a pro-life site.
My only observation is that there seems to be conflicting evidence on the 'alleged' link. I would expect people charged with preventing cancer would want to make people aware of any potential risk.
