:Was just thinking about the "16 out of 17 statistically significant studies" thing.  Aschafly, I initially interpreted that as you claiming that most studies that have looked at the relationship have found that abortion is a risk factor.  But now it occurs to me that it likely actually means that there are 16 studies finding that it is a significant risk factor, 1 finding that it's a significant protective factor, and some unlisted number finding no significant relationship.  Without knowing the number finding no relationship, it's completely meaningless.  As I posted above, there are at least 24 studies in that category, and my search was not that comprehensive.  It's nonsensical to claim that when less than half of the studies find a relationship that it definitely exists, and suggests misunderstanding of statistical significance.  [[User:Murray|Murray]] 13:16, 10 April 2007 (EDT)
