Talk:Harvard abortion study (view source)
Revision as of 04:23, April 26, 2007

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)

: My opinion hasn't changed that the listing of the Lancet article on your talk page as an example of "Studies showing no abortion-breast cancer link" is false. Lancet is the only study in that list that I've read. Maybe some or all of the other articles listed are also unjustified. I see from your list that several of the other articles had very few subjects, and may thus be misleading in their claims.
: But I'm not going to spend any more time repeating myself here. I'll refer this to the Conservapedia panel and they will make their own decision. Due to other pressing issues they may not get to this for a while.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 00:23, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
