Well, here's a list of those disputing that:
From Wikipedia:

The abortion–breast cancer hypothesis has been the subject of extensive scientific inquiry, and the scientific community has concluded that abortion does not cause breast cancer. This consensus is supported by major medical bodies, including the World Health Organization, the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

In fact, according to the American Cancer Society:
Quote:

"The issue of abortion generates passionate viewpoints in many people. Breast cancer is the most common cancer, and is the second leading cancer killer in women (lung cancer is the first). Still, the public is not well-served by false alarms. At this time, the scientific evidence does not support the notion that abortion of any kind raises the risk of breast cancer."

Now let's look at the list of those supporting the link:
National Physicians Center for Family Resources
Catholic Medical Association
American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Breast Cancer Prevention Institute
The Polycarp Research Institute
Ehtics and Medics
MaterCare International
7 groups, two of which you don't even have to go past the name to know they'll be biased. (CMA and AAPLOG)
It really doesn't surprise me that conservatives will seize upon only those groups who support their political views and ignore the vast majority of research. Not that they're alone in that, I've seen liberals do the same thing.
Off the top of my head, I'd listen to the American Cancer Society before *any* of those listed in the second group.
