Issues to be mediated

The party filing this request uses this section to list the issues for mediation. Other parties can list additional issues in the section below.

The main issue is Phyesalis' good faith POV that the abortion-breast cancer hypothesis has been "rejected"; while my POV is the scientific evidence and notable conclusions show it to be "unsupported". This relates to the first sentence of the article.
Phyesalis moved Brind's meta-analysis outside the "Epidemiological studies" section. As it is peer reviewed science, whether ze likes the authors or not, it should be moved back to the appropriate section.
Resolve any outstanding issues Phyesalis may have with the article, so that the "disputed" banner can be removed; and it can be resubmitted for GA review.

Additional issues to be mediated

Other parties can use this section to list any others issues they wish to include in the mediation. Please do not modify or remove any other party's listing. Please sign all additions to this section if there are more than two parties involved in this case.
