::We can go on and on about the evidence, but the point is that the statement "nearly ever single study analyzing abortion has shown it to cause breast cancer" can be proven false by providing a list of studies of abortion and breast cancer that indicate no link. Such a list may include (taken from searching Google scholar for citations):
::#[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673604158352 Breast cancer and abortion: collaborative reanalysis of data from 53 epidemiological studies, including 83 000 women with breast cancer from 16 countries. ''The Lancet'' '''363'''(9414):1007-1016 (2004) doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(04)15835-2] ("Pregnancies that end as a spontaneous or induced abortion do not increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer.")

''International Journal of Cancer'' '''119'''(7):1741-45 (2006)] ("Overall, the findings provide further unbiased evidence of the lack of an adverse effect of induced abortion on breast cancer risk.")
::#[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010782408000905 K.D. Henderson ''et al.'' Incomplete pregnancy is not associated with breast cancer risk: the California Teachers Study. ''Contraception'' '''77'''(6):391-96 (2008).] ("These results provide strong evidence that there is no relationship between incomplete pregnancy and breast cancer risk.")
::#[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15095312 T.L. Lash and A.K. Fink. Null association between pregnancy termination and breast cancer in a registry-based study of parous women. ''International Journal of Cancer'' '''110'''(3):443-8 (2004).
::I will certainly admit that this is an active area of research and so we don't really know what the correlation is between abortion and breast cancer, but there do exist studies showing no link. This means that the statement "nearly ever single study analyzing abortion has shown it to cause breast cancer" is simply not true. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 19:41, 24 October 2012 (EDT)
