I would not think that is something a woman would generally admit to

Agree. Statistically, 1 in 4 women have an abortion within their lifetime. Put a bunch of breast cancer patients in the same room and watch those ratios get tighter. Now, it is within the realm of possibility that none of these women had an abortion (but not likely). Other strong causes of breast cancer are artificial estrogens like the Pill and HRT. Regardless, none of these women would admit publicly to the first possibility. Denial is a very strong defense mechanism.

If you add the involuntary miscarriages (which are not so rare) the main causes of breast cancer might be already found.

I think that such denial can be also present in the husbands, lovers, friends and family members who encouraged abortion.
