The American College of Pediatricians issued a press release April 7 to urge women to know the risk associated with induced abortion.  The risk is particularly significant for adolescents.The press release claims that "the medical community has been reluctant to acknowledge the link, induced abortion prior to a full term delivery, and prior to 32 weeks of gestation, increases the likelihood that a woman will develop breast cancer."A study led by Dr. Johnson and her colleagues and published in Feb 2013 shows that incidence of metastatic breast cancer in young women aged 25 to 39 years has been increased in the U.S., according to the release.  Studies in China, India and Romania show that abortion is associated with risk of breast cancer in a “dose” responsive manner.In the United States, about one third of pregnancies are terminated or aborted.The American College of Pediatricians issued  astatement on the link between abortion and risk of breast cancer in  2013.  The statement explains in detail why abortion increases risk of breast cancer.Keep in mind that the increased risk of breast cancer is only associated with induced abortion.  No evidence indicates that involuntary abortion or miscarriage increases the risk.More relevant artiles
