There will never be enough acceptable data to the so-called choice side. They seek only to protect abortion rights and not the right to honest information regarding abortion. It's a fact that breast cancer has been on the rise for over thirty years. Many think the link in that rise is the increase of abortions. Either way, it's clear from research that there are many risk factors being ignored by those who know better. If PP tells a woman of the cancer risks among all the other potential risks, that woman may just no have that abortion and PP is out $$. So in many cases, women are lied to and told it's all good. No worries. No cancer links. And yet there is. Facts are stubborn things.
"PID, Placenta Previa, And Cancer Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection that leads to fever and infertility. Researchers state, “Pelvic infection is a common and serious complication of induced abortion and has been reported in up to 30 percent of all cases.” A study of women having first-trimester abortions established that “women with post-abortal pelvic inflammatory disease had significantly higher rates of . . . spontaneous abortion, secondary infertility, dyspareunia [painful intercourse], and chronic pelvic pain.” ["Lars Heisterberg, MD, et al., “Sequelae of Induced First-Trimester Abortion,” American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (July 1986): 79.]
Placenta previa, a misplacement of the placenta, is caused by “prior uterine insult or injury,” [ C. V. Anath et al., “The Association of Placenta Previa with History of Cesarean Delivery and Abortion: A Meta-Analysis,” American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (November 1997): 1071–78. .]including abortion.

There is a 70 percent increase in the condition for women who have undergone an induced abortion. [ Ibid.]
The Guttmacher Institute states that about half of women who have had an abortion will go on to have more. [ Susan A. Cohen, “Repeat Abortion, Repeat Unintended Pregnancy, Repeated and Misguided Government Policies,” Guttmacher Policy Review 10, no. 2 (Spring 2007),

Women with one abortion double their risk of cervical cancer, compared to nonabortive women, while women with two or more abortions multiply their risk by nearly five times. Similar elevated risks of ovarian and liver cancer have also been linked to single and multiple abortions. [ F. Parazzini et al., “Reproductive Factors and the Risk of Invasive and Intraepithelial Cervical Neoplasia,” British Journal of Cancer 59 (1989):805–9; H. L. Stewart et al., “Epidemiology of Cancers of the Uterine Cervix and Corpus, Breast and Ovary in Israel and New York City,” Journal of the National Cancer Institute 37, no. 1:1–96; I. Fujimoto et al., “Epidemiologic Study of Carcinoma in Situ of the Cervix,” Journal of Reproductive Medicine 30, no. 7 (July 1985): 535; C. LaVecchia et al., “Reproductive Factors and the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Women,” International Journal of Cancer 52 (1992): 351.]
After extensive investigation, Dr. Joel Brind, a cancer researcher and professor of endocrinology, concluded, “The single most avoidable risk factor for breast cancer is induced abortion.” [ Joel Brind, “Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis of the Abortion/Breast Cancer Link,”

A woman who has an abortion increases her risk of breast cancer by a minimum of 50 percent and as much as 300 percent. [ L. A. Brinton et al., “Reproductive Factors in the Aetiology of Breast Cancer,” British Journal of Cancer 47 (1983): 757–62.
