My husband has found the reference he recently pointed out to me.  At the end
it lists lactation under those items that "less consistently" show a link.
Abortion, cancer linked
The New England Journal of Medicine, which three years ago published the
Melbye study denying the abortion-breast cancer link, has quietly
acknowledged that induced abortion is a risk factor for breast cancer.
On March 13, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists became the
world's first medical organization to warn its abortion providers that the
abortion-breast cancer link "cannot be disregarded" and that a 1996 review of
the worldwide studies done by Dr. Joel Brind, president of the Breast Cancer
Prevention Institute, was "carefully conducted" and "had no major
methodological shortcomings."
Now that 27 out of 33 worldwide studies have reported a link between abortion
and breast cancer, the New England Journal of Medicine has finally chosen to
recognize the overwhelming evidence of an abortion-breast cancer link.
The text of an article titled "Assessing the Risk of Breast Cancer," by
Katrina Armstrong and her associates from the University of Pennsylvania
School of Medicine, said, "Other risk factors have been less consistently
associated with breast cancer (such as diet, use of oral contraceptives,
lactation and abortion)."
According to Brind, this "represents a sea change from a position of
full-blown denial in American organized medicine."
