It's a case of our side doing what the left is famous for--skewing statistics to make our point. The real truth that there is actually a DECREASED risk of breast cancer that comes with childbirth.

Thank you. See my shortly previous post. It's too bad that some people are so eager for a result that they'll resort to propaganda and innumeracy as long as it gets them what they want. It will just burn them in the end.

Your insight into the statistics and probability analysis is disheartening, but it is often good to know if a tool one would like to use is weak or flawed.

I remember a book from my youth that has stuck with me: How to Lie with Statistics and my whole life I've watched the left use every tactic they described.
