Makes you wonder if spontaneous miscarriage carries the same threat, since there seems to be a distinct hormonal component to the disease.

[Notwithstanding]

Spontaneous miscarriage is normally not brought on by a sudden external cause - the hormonal impact on the body is less severe and sudden.

Elective abortion is an intentional sudden shock to a healthy reporductive system - the hormonal impact on the body is very severe and sudden.

I’ve read several places that miscarriage does NOT carry the same threat.

FYI - In layman's language the hormone receptors in the breast tissue open naturally during pregnancy. They close naturally after childbirth and miscarriage. They remain open after an abortion and are then susceptible to cancer at a greater rate.

Does anyone know the long term effects of birth control pills on breast tissue and its relation to cancer of the breast?

From the studies I’ve read miscarriage is different in how the hormones react. In miscarriage they drop a little at a time rather than having them high running through the body with no baby to support.
