regarding the concern that no one is warning women of the risk, do you really think it would matter?

We all know there is increased risk from smoking, drinking, being overweight, etc, and yet, how many people heed those warnings.

If someone is in the position of deciding whether to have a baby or have an abortion, I can't imagine telling them they may have an increased risk of breast cancer in the future would really matter. It is such a life altering decision, and most of the women are so young, I can't imagine a nineteen year old who has gotten pregnant and has decided to have an abortion, changing her mind and deciding to carry the baby, with all the ramifications of that decision, because she may have an increased risk of breast cancer in her lifetime.
