One of the anti-abortion contingent's favorite misinformation tactics, the un-backed assertion that abortion causes breast cancer, has been debunked again. This time by what looks like a very thorough 14 year study. But that doesn't mean they'll stop spreading that particular pile of manure. From the LA Times story:

She said her group's study was "very much in line" with a 2003 expert panel convened by the National Cancer Institute that concluded no evidence supported a link between abortion and breast cancer. The institute funded Michels' study as well.

Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, took issue with the findings. Her group uses the purported link as an argument against abortion.

"Clearly [the cancer institute] must suspect a link, or else they know that a link really exists," Malec said. "Why else would they continue to pay for these studies?"

Get it? See, one study showing there's no link between breast cancer and abortion is fine, but two studies showing no link between breast cancer and abortion? Why that just proves that there is a link. Wow. Just wow.
