While discussing the controversy over the Susan G. Komen for the Cure cutting off funds to Planned Parenthood for breast exams, which it later reversed, Rick Santorum said on Fox News Sunday, "I don't believe breast cancer research is advanced by funding an organization that does abortions where you've seen ties to cancer and abortions." That widely spread claim lacks a scientific basis. A 2007 study of 105,000 women in the Archives of Internal Medicine found no link between breast cancer and abortions.
