Presumably, there is some endocrinological basis to the increased risk, so there is probably an intervention that can be given to women who have had an abortion to reduce the risk.

Also, is there any data on women who have suffered a miscarriage and breast cancer? That would be interesting, and could provide a hint as to the appropriate mitigation treatment for women who have had an abortion.

The tendency to crush any hint of harm from abortion (it's a medical procedure, so it is axiomatic that there are risks) suggests that the supporters of abortion on demand fear that support for their cause is brittle. Might I suggest that their attitude is one of the reasons why they might be right to fear for the future of their cause.

feminist prefer the right to kill their own babies above the long term welfare of health or others. Why are so many Liberal pollies so gutless these days in identifying with truth. They ignore medical evidence and deny what Islam stands for. Surely they have caved into the 'regressive' media.

A long time ago I was taught that the number of cycles/periods a woman had increased her chances of having breast cancer. Anything that increased or decreased the number of cycles/periods would thus affect breast cancer.
Thus if she began her periods at an early age or reached menopause at a late age or had few or no children she would be at an increased risk.
Conversely starting periods late, early menopause and having many children reduced the number of cycles/periods and thus reduced the risk of breast cancer.
No idea what the latest research says.

Thanks for providing this alternative perspective.
