Anti-abortion activists are touting the results of a study published in the November 2 (1994) issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that suggests an increased risk for breast cancer among women who have had induced abortions. Alarmed at how the study may play out in the political arena, both NCI and the study's authors warned against interpreting the results as definitive. "Taken together," cautioned an NCI press release, "the inconsistencies and scarcity of existing research do not permit scientific conclusions." In the study of 1800 women age 45 and under, those who had had an abortion were found to have a greater risk of developing breast cancer. In epidemiological terms, however, less than a doubling of risk is considered small and difficult to interpret; moreover, the study was limited to younger women among whom breast cancer is exceedingly rare. The researchers also acknowledged the limitations of their study, saying that the women with breast cancer may have been more likely to be candid about having had an abortion in the past than the women in the control group. An accompanying journal editorial noted that while the reproductive lives of the women involved in the study occurred mostly after abortion was legalized, "induced abortions are still emotionally charged for many women and they are generally underreported."

According to the signers of a November 28 citizens' petition filed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), unintended pregnancies and abortions could be reduced significantly if the FDA would require the relabeling of several oral contraceptives as emergency or postcoital contraception, also known as "morning after pills." It has long been established that within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure, a specified combination of pills taken at specified intervals can reduce the risk of pregnancy by an estimated 75%. Although physicians at university health clinics, in hospital emergency rooms treating rape victims, and at some family planning clinics prescribe emergency contraceptives, other physicians are reluctant to do so without relabeling, and most women taking the pill do not know the correct dosage. Calling this a "critical public health issue," attorneys at the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy petitioned the FDA for a labeling change on the grounds that manufacturers are in fact "misbranding" pills by suppressing emergency contraceptive information. If pill makers rewrite their patient packet inserts, women undoubtedly would have far greater control over the occurrence of an unintended pregnancy, the attorneys said.
