A member asked:

What are the health effects of getting an abortion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very few: There are, of course, risks and complications of abortion like any other procedure such as bleeding, infection, retain products of conception, just to name a few. However, when done by a competent healthcare professional, the risks are minimal without any long term effects to your medical health or future fertility.
