I do not mean the following to say that abortion is anything less than an unconscionable horror, same as murder is.
But are the poorer statistics for avoiding breast cancer associated with having an abortion, mirrored by those who adopt out their newborns and don’t breast feed?
One needs to be a bit careful about the questions one might imply.
The Susan M. Komen co-option of the pink ribbon is a worse issue, because she’s not shy about cheering PP, the turd in an otherwise reasonable punch bowl.
My understanding is that carrying a pregnancy to term lowers the risk of breast cancer, and breastfeeding lowers the rusk even further. Having an abortion (if my recollection is correct) raises the risk by 30%
It is not the breast feeding so much that protects against cancer; it is the completion of the pregnancy itself.
Breast cancer originates in immature undifferetiated breast cells - tissues that have not matured and specialized yet. These cells proliferate in the first trimester of pregnancy, stimulated by the increase in estrogen that occurs. These young growing cells are especially vulnerable to malgnancy, but the second half of pregnancy takes care of this:
In the second half of pregnancy the estrogen levels recede and the immature cells now differentiate into mature milk-producing tissue in response to the lowered estrogen. These more stable mature cells do not have the tendency toward malignancy.
Even if the woman does not breastfeed, the breast cells have specialized and matured and are less likely to turn cancerous.
I hope this helps - I got the info off a website pregnantpause.org

Giving birth balances out that excess estrogen that is not mitigated when an abortion is performed early on. As far as breast feeding is concerned, I don't know how important that factor alone might be. My mother didn't breast feed her 8 children, and she never developed breast cancer, or cancer of any sort in her 84 years.
Nuns tend to develop breast cancer at higher rates, simply because their bodies have never gone through the mitigation process that occurs with childbirth.
