There is no clinical study that demonstrates that issue and I believe it is just used by certain groups who are against abortion. If that were the case then the Cancer society would be publishing and studying that issue and they are not doing so.
The groups are political or religious and not scientific groups of any fashion that are making that false claim.

Not exactly. HPV is the only known cause of cervical cancer. The type of woman who gets an abortion is the also the type of woman more at risk for HPV (how do you think they ended up needing an abortion....cough). More HPV infections = higher cancer rate.
The two are related. Just not in a causal manner.

NO. That is just a ploy used by some pro-lifers to scare women into having unwanted children.

I've not acutally heard that myth before. I'd have to say no, unless the procedure was done in a way to introduce HPV into your system.

Not only untrue, but what a randomly outrageous statistic.
