A member asked:

Is it possible for a woman to die from complications an abortion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but not likely: Any surgical procedure entails risks. The procedure for a pregnancy termination carries minimal risk if done appropriately. Major risk of death occurs from an uncorrected infection or usually from bleeding that is not controlled when the uterus is damaged.
