She cites overwhelming evidence supporting an abortion-breast cancer link, commonly known as the ABC link, in the 29 of 38 published studies conducted worldwide since 1957 that show a positive association between the two. Seventeen of the 29 are statistically significant, which means there's a 95 percent certainty that the association is not by chance.

The selective reporting in this article is evident. One of the major flaws of all the earlier studies is "recall bias" as mentioned in my post above.

The fact that they completely avoid mentioning such a flaw proves that they are more interested in spreading their gospel than examining medical issues in a scientific context.

Recall bias is real. It invalidates most of the earlier studies, so you just can't pile them up and say they carry the day, because that flaw just accumulates -- it doesn't get averaged out.

Until advocates of breastcancer/abortion/Biblethumping deal with recall bias, they are just spouting their religion, not science.

Okay, I need you to link studies showing how abortion helps women. Thank you.

The "recall bias" has been disproved more than once. People may report symptoms and feelings subjectively, but not the fact that they had had a surgery or abortion.

The claim of "recall bias" was substantiated in one famous study because women said they *had* an abortion, when there was no record in the computer, not because they denied an abortion that was recorded.

But, we hear "recall bias" with great recall and great bias.
