Abortion Doesn’t Cause Breast Cancer

4:38 pm EST April 23rd, 2007 | News | 6 Comments

Science strikes again.

The new study, appearing in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at data from 105,716 women participating in the Nurses’ Health Study, which was established in 1976 to study a wide range of health issues affecting women.

The women, ages 29 to 46 at the start of the study, were followed for 10 years. Every two years, they were asked about abortions, miscarriages and new breast cancer diagnoses. The researchers looked at medical records to confirm the diagnoses.

The researchers found no greater rate of breast cancer among the women who reported having abortions, compared to the other women. They saw no greater risk associated with multiple abortions and no greater risk linked with miscarriages.

Damn you, factual scientific information!

    Neither does flying a kite.

    But flying a kite won’t terminate a pregnancy.

    Wow, that takes the cake. fd10801, that was like a dadaist experiment the way it constructed a nonsensical non sequitur. That’s enough proof for me that you’re not here to discuss, or even argue, just to reassert your narrow world view.

    Michael, I have noticed that he’s just here to get attention. He must post about 50% of the items here. Ignore him, he won’t go away but at least you won’t be feeding his delusions.

    You have grasped exactly the function of Oliver’s post.

    EL: You obviously need more wattage.

    Nah.. I got him pegged.

    He’s being paid $5 an hour to troll here.

    That’s all his comments here are worth to his bosses, and even less to the good people who post here.
