   Alright, so I just did an academic search of the available literature on the subject. Citing all the research would take too much space, but I encourage anyone who questions my findings to go to their local or school library and do a similar seach of academic journals. The Journal Of The National Cancer Institute 2006 Apr 19 98 (8), 535-44, states:
   "Neither history of interrupted pregnancies (induced abortions or miscarriage) nor history of breast-feeding was statistically significantly associated with the risk of breast cancer." The title of the article is Pregnancies, breast-feeding, and breast cancer risk in the International BRCA1/2 Carrier Cohort Study (IBCCS) and is by N. Andrieu. Medical research from the 80s is rarely reliable if it is, there are almost always more recent reliable studies replicating the findings. A general rule my college professors taught me is never to cite sociological, anthropological or scientific/medical research more than 5 years old. Also, as sources, academic journals are reliable because they are reviewed and edited by experts in the field, simply citing quotes of studies found on websites of organizations with a stated bias is entirely unprofessional. Everyone have beliefs about right and wrong, but when citing physical evidence to support such an argument of right or wrong the utmost ethics should be used and the sources themselves should be unbiased.
