Myth: Abortion Causes Breast Cancer
Fact: In 2003, the National Cancer Institute brought together a panel of 100 of the world’s experts on women’s health to evaluate the alleged link between abortion and breast cancer. They looked at dozens of studies on the subject that have been conducted since 1981 and found that the scientific evidence clearly demonstrated that there is no association between abortion and increased breast cancer risk. Unfortunately, anti-choice activists have tried to scare women into thinking there is a link in order to prevent them from choosing abortion.
