In fact, a full-term pregnancy early in a woman's reproductive life is protective against breast cancer. A 1994 National Cancer Institute study of over 1,800 women in Washington state found a significant 50 percent risk increase among women who had an abortion. The risk was more than double for women whose abortion (or first abortion) took place before age 18 or over age 30.
