History
RationalWiki was founded in 2007 by Peter Lipson, a doctor of internal medicine in response to his account on Conservapedia being blocked as a result of him attempting to include evidence in Conservapedia's breast cancer article against Conservapedia's statement linking abortion as a major cause of the disease (a statement which is based on selective evidence but goes against scientific consensus).
