Throughout  its Report promoting the decriminalisation of abortion, the Victorian Law Reform Commission  was dismissive of  evidence of  the  medical risks of abortion, claiming "there was a  consensus" rejecting such risks.  Breast surgeon, Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, comments below:

"Scientific consensus is not the equivalent of scientific truth. This has been historically proven over the ages time and time again. For example, western medicine’s consensus of the absolute need for mastectomy and nothing less in treating breast cancer for 100 years has been disproven. Premature birth before 32 weeks is now accepted to result in the doubling of breast cancer risk for the mother. Induced abortion, which can be viewed as the premature birth of a dead fetus, also results in increased breast cancer risk of the mother. Both mothers’ breasts have been exposed to the same hormones of pregnancy which result in the same changes causing  increase risk of breast cancer in both women. These mothers are different only in whether their children left their wombs alive or dead.
