In 2008, a high profile group of scientists wrote in the prestigious Journal of the National Cancer Institute: “China is on the cusp of a breast cancer epidemic.” Interestingly, they did not mention abortion at all.
But by 2013, a Chinese research team headed by Dr. Yubei Huang published a meta-analysis of 36 recent studies in mainland China. The team documented a 44% increase in breast cancer risk among those with one or more abortions –up to an 89% increased risk with those with 3 or more abortions.
