My reading and research indicates that the studies which prove no connection between abortion and breast cancer were done on women "shortly" (ie. two years or less) after their abortions. Yes, but your research would be better directed if you didn't do it all out of religious advocates' pamphlets.
Your objection is ridiculous because no one would limit it to that immediate a reaction.
In Denmark, abortions have been legal since 1939. Therefore the entire population at all age levels will have women who have and never have had abortions, and you have their breast cancer rates. Plus, best of all, in Denmark they have a registry of ALL medical procedures performed on everyone (best for this sort of research, I'm not advocating socialised medicine.) So they know who had what, when and where.

Melbye, et al is the same study proaborts trot out when they attempt, in vain, to defend killing babies and injuring women. In other words...lame. In fact, 28 out of 35 or so studies now demonstrate a link between breast cancer and abortion for the very reasons noted in the post above. See J. Brind "Induced abortion as an independent risk factor for breast cancer: a comprehensive review and analysis" and others...J. Epidemiol Community Health, etc. But it's much worse than that, Friends. There are credible studies linking abortion to everything from depression and teen suicide to insomnia and eating disorders. The tidal wave of data is now reaching shore -- and may very well swamp our healthcare system. It's already destroyed 1/3 of a generation and Social Security! By the way...instead of taking about this "issue", why not visit your local abortionist on Saturday and see what's really going on. It's not pretty.
