Abortion and breast cancer

April 24, 2007

Again, there is no link between breast cancer and abortion:

Once again, a well-done study, this time a prospective cohort study from the Nurse’s Health Study, has failed to reveal a link between abortion and breast cancer. The findings were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine this week.

This study joins the ranks of a myriad of other well-done studies showing the same thing. To top it off, a large workshop convened at the National Cancer Institute in 2003 found no causal link between abortion and breast cancer.

TBTAM rightly observes that Google has been manipulated by non-medical sites falsely claiming otherwise. When it comes to search engine optimization, legitimate medical sites are at a significant disadvantage.
