The fact that abortions themselves INCREASE the likelihood of breast cancer, completely escapes them.

You're missing the essential point of the research into abortions and breast cancer: on one end of the continuum, women who never give birth and who never nurse who also had early menarche and late menopause are the most susceptible to developing breast cancer (not including those who are genetically predisposed); on the other end on the continuum, women who have had the most children the earliest in life who breast feed them the longest, and who entered menarche latest and menopause earliest are the least likely to develop breast cancer. Every woman is at some point along that continuum. An interruption of a pregnancy, by whatever means, surgically induced abortion, miscarriage, premature birth, moves a woman's risk of developing breast cancer toward that of the nulliparous woman and away from the other end of the continuum.

A surgically-induced abortion does not increase her risk of breast cancer beyond that of the nulliparous woman, it just reduces the benefits that pregnancy, late onset of menarche, and early onset of menopause confer. Having only one child instead of three or four children will move a women in the direction of the nulliparous woman as far as risk of breast cancer is concerned. The fewer cycles of ovulation a woman goes through in her life is that which confers the lowered risk of breast cancer. That which increases the number of ovulations--or, seen another way, keeps her from conditions in which ovulations have ceased--such as pregnancy--increases her risk of breast cancer.

“An interruption of a pregnancy, by whatever means, surgically induced abortion, miscarriage, premature birth, moves a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer toward that of the nulliparous woman and away from the other end of the continuum.”

To fund this outfit while they encourage and profit mightily from abortions is an outrage no matter how the pregnancy is stopped. A disgusting formerly well-intentioned organization in league with a bunch of bloody and highly profitable murderers!
