Most miscarriages don't raise breast cancer risk.  Most miscarriages are first trimester miscarriages.  These tend to be abnormal pregnancies, and the hormone level is insufficient to maintain pregnancy.

On the other hand, research shows that women who have premature deliveries before 32 weeks of pregnancy more than double their breast cancer risk. [3,4,5]  A premature birth is biologically the same event as an abortion.

[3,4,5]  A premature birth is biologically the same event as an abortion, so this evidence provides support for an independent link between abortion and breast cancer.

A report in July 2006 from the Institute of Medicine (an organization of the National Academies of Science) listed "prior first trimester abortion" as an "immutable medical risk factor" for premature birth. [6]  Premature birth increases the risk of cerebral palsy for children and neonatal deaths.  Premature births in the U.S. climbed 40% - from 8.9% to 12.5% - between 1980 and 2004. [9]

The World Health Organization listed combined (estrogen plus progestin) oral contraceptives and combined hormone replacement therapy as "Group 1 carcinogens" in July 2005. [7,8] These findings provide additional biological support for an independent link between abortion and breast cancer because the biological basis for all three breast cancer risks is the same.
