The research data show that '''abortion causes a sharp increase in the deadly PR-negative breast cancer'''.  "Among [[parous]] women [the overwhelming majority of the study], the [hazard ratios] HRs were 1.58 (95% CI, 1.13-2.20) for PR- breast cancer and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.60-1.05) for PR+ breast cancer (P for heterogeneity = 0.002) among women with induced abortion."<ref>Study, p. 817.</ref>  However, the press reports concealed this alarming result, making it look like abortion is safe.  The report's abstract concealed this important result also.<ref>The misleading study abstract is [http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/167/8/814 here].</ref>

The research study excluded women who had abortions and then died from breast cancer!  The study also excluded women who developed breast cancer early in the follow-up.  "During follow-up, we censored women who were newly diagnosed as having breast cancer, had died, or were lost to follow-up."<ref>Study, p.815.</ref> So those who were hurt most by their abortions were excluded, and this skewed the results towards a claim that abortion is safe.
