Abortion and Breast Cancer: New Study Marks 50 Years of Denial
By Joel Brind, Ph.D.
In April 1957, the Japanese Journal of Cancer Research published a nationwide study on cancer which found that there was athree-fold higher incidence of breast cancer among women who had induced abortionscompared to those women who had not.
Showing that those who do not remember the past are destined to repeat it, on the last day of the 50th anniversary month, a study by a Harvard research team headed by Karin Michels was published in the American Medical Association’s Annals of Internal Medicine. The National Cancer Institute-funded team studied more than 105,000 women over a 10-year period and found that induced abortion was not “associated with the incidence of breast cancer.” It joined a decade-longparade of flawed studiespurporting to show there is no link between abortion and a heightened risk of breast cancer (ABC link).
Such conclusions must ignore the results of many studies, including our 1996 collaborative meta-analysis, published in the British Medical Association’s Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. That study reported a 30% overall average increased risk of breast cancer among women who’d had any induced abortions. (A meta-analysis is a compilation of all existing studies in the medical literature.)
