You’re probably right about the studies being flawed, but you can’t deny that breast cancer rates have gone up considerably since Roe v Wade. It could definitely be coincidental, but other than the pill, what is so different for women over the past 50 years that could explain the rates going up?

What is so different? For one, the increased availability and utilization of mammograms for everyone. The increased use of estrogen (like in birth control) has probably also contributed to the rise. Lots of women also use hormone replacement therapy and get additional hormone this way. A study a few years back satisfied most that there was a direct correlation between the two.
