Sorry, but the studies are now flawed or they would not have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals in the first place.

In fact the most recent study, conducted by Dr. Vahit Ozmen and his colleagues at the Istanbul Medical Faculty at Istanbul University and Magee-Women's hospital in Pittsburgh, found a 66 percent increased risk of contracting breast cancer as a result of an abortion.

They published their findings in the April 2009 issue of the World Journal of Surgical Oncology.

The researchers said that their findings showed abortion was "significantly associated with increased breast cancer risk."

"Breast cancer risk was found to be increased in women with ... induced abortion (95% confidence interval)." More at http://www.lifenews.com/int1278.html

Regarding NCI, it's a political group and it ignored the findings of Joel Brind, Ph.D., the head of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute in the United States and a professor of endocrinology at Baruch College in New York, and many of his colleagues who wanted the link reported.
