This concept of risk should be put into the context of other risks, since life is full of risks. A woman's risk of dying of breast cancer is similar to her risk from radon by living in [[Cornwall]], England, <ref> http://www.cplusc.co.uk/risks.html </ref> a factor which does not seem to have denuded Cornwall of its female population.

The National Breast Cancer Coalition does not endorse the view that induced abortions increase the risk of breast cancer.<ref>http://www.natlbcc.org/bin/index.asp?strid=364&depid=9</ref> Nor do the American Cancer Society, the US National Cancer Institute <ref>http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_6x_Can_Having_an_Abortion_Cause_or_Contribute_to_Breast_Cancer.asp</ref> and the World Health Organisation<ref>http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs240/en/index.html</ref> endorse this view. This would seem to be borne out by the experience of the Republic of Ireland, where abortion is illegal, and yet it has one of the highest rates of both breast cancer incidence and mortality in the EU. <ref> http://www.allirelandnci.org/pdf/publications/Stat-Report-1998-2000/4a.pdf </ref>
