From FRC:
There's no shortage of skeptics on the possible link between abortion and breast cancer, but a massive study out of China is turning some critics into believers. The debate, which has been as explosive as any in the abortion community, has worn on for years about the possible side effects of the procedure on women. Now, say experts, the Chinese have produced some of the strongest evidence yet that a connection between the two does exist -- and powerfully so.
The meta-analysis, which was just published in a credible peer-reviewed journal called Cancer Causes and Controls, found that the breast cancer risk for women after a single abortion jumped 44%. After subsequent abortions, the risks are even higher -- 76% after two, and 89% after three. Professor Joel Brind, an endocrinology expert at Baruch College, called the results "a real game-changer." The Left, which is desperate to discredit any study that jeopardizes its rosy abortion narrative, will have their hands full with these findings, which spanned 36 studies in 14 provinces. Of course, the real tragedy of the study is the breadth of the sample size in China, where the barbaric one-child policy has paved the way to more than eight million abortions every year.
(CNSNews.com) – A new study pointing to a link between breast cancer and abortion among Chinese women may breathe new life into a debate over a long-contentious issue which both sides have accused the other of exploiting to promote its cause.
The meta-analysis by Chinese researchers, published in the peer-reviewed journal Cancer Causes and Control, found a 44 percent increased breast cancer risk after an abortion. It also found that the risk grew significantly with subsequent abortions – a 76 percent increase after two abortions, 89 percent after three.

“In summary, the most important implication of this study is that IA [induced abortion] was significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer among Chinese females, and the risk of breast cancer increases as the number of IA increases,” said the authors, from the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital’s epidemiology and biostatistics department.
Just a month ago, Chinese media were reporting on a global breast cancer study which noted a 20-30 percent increase in breast cancer incidence among middle-aged urban Chinese women over the past decade.
