::: Earlier you said you "read the methods and results sections of all of them at some point, if not the intros and discussions." Now you say something quite different, that you "read the studies." Which is it? Regardless, if you read the Lancet article and still insist on calling it a "study" that denies that abortion increases breast cancer, then your persistence in this falsehood would be enough cause for concern.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:17, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

I guess that's the long version of saying that you're not going to bother to read or try to rebut the other studies, or indicate what your issue is with the Lancet article. Yes, I was careless with language in the last post. I read the methods and results of each. Obviously part of the issue here is that we have different definitions of risk. Here's the bottom line: a woman who has an abortion has the same risk of breast cancer as if she'd never been pregnant, or if she had a miscarriage, which is far more common than induced abortion. Pregnancy confers protection, but it does not follow that ending pregnancy increases a woman's risk, '''because her risk remains the same as it was before she got pregnant.''' It's pointless to discuss this further, but I would appreciate it if you would refrain from further implications that I'm lying. Others should read the studies themselves and draw their own conclusions. [[User:Murray|Murray]] 22:35, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
