This article examines the abortion breast cancer link in some historical scientific detail, offering a perspective on an issue that is at the center of a long-running public policy debate that plays out in legislatures, courtrooms, and newspaper editorials, as well as in scientific and medical journals. Even as politically correct studies have been promulgated to neutralize the data proving the abortion breast cancer link, even stronger data have emerged in recent years that firmly link abortion to premature births in subsequent pregnancies, which in turn raise the risk of breast cancer in mothers and cerebral palsy in prematurely born children.
本文从历史科学细节方面审视了堕胎与乳腺癌之间的关联，为一个长期存在的公共政策辩论焦点问题提供了一种观点。该辩论在立法机构、法庭、报纸社论以及科学和医学期刊中展开。尽管一些政治上正确的研究已经发布，试图中和那些证明堕胎与乳腺癌有关联的数据，但近年来出现了更有力的数据，这些数据确凿地将堕胎与后续怀孕中的早产联系起来，而早产反过来又增加了母亲患乳腺癌的风险以及早产儿童患脑瘫的风险。
