The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case filed by two California women who sued Planned Parenthood abortion businesses there because they refuse to disclose information concerning the link between abortion and breast cancer.

It was a phony case based on statistics that were both misrepresented (by those framing the case) and misunderstood (by many of those believing the characterization of those framing the case) done for polemical purposes.

The fact is that abortion didn't increase the risk of breast cancer; it merely very, very, very slightly decreased (if at all) a protection against breast cancer afforded by pregnancy/breastfeeding through the interrupting of menses. In no study did the so-called "risk" exceed that of women who had never given birth nor breastfed.

That is 100% false. Even Dr. Janet Darling, who is vehemently prochoice, found in her study that breast cancer risk is increased by abortion. That is especially true for certain women. For example, women who have a family risk of breast cancer and get an abortion in their teens or early 20s, have been found virtually certain to get breast cancer.
