"There was a study in Britain back in 1999 that concluded the risk of breast cancer following an abortion was trivial , almost as insignificant as getting lung cancer from a lifetime exposure to second-hand smoke - UNLESS it was the first pregnancy that was interrupted . If the first pregnancy was interrupted , the likelihood of subsequent breast cancer was right up there with the likelihood of lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking . ( The study is obviously not politically correct , so I 've seen no mention of it on this side of the Atlantic . ) The study did n't address causes , and only noted the correlation , but the lead doctor did speculate that it may have something to do with hormonal changes that need to run to completion . Once again , the state of Florida takes the lead in losing and abusing its children ."
"Not to be pedantic but have you any sources to the uk study from 1999 please ? Only asking because it does n't make sense that termination of a first pregnancy can increase the chances of breast cancer yet a miscarriage or still born in a first pregnancy does n't yet in both cases the hormonal changes have not run to completion ."
