See below: There should be no physiologic problem after an abortion to prevent pregnancy. Your friend should contact her ob/gyn doctor to discuss this further.

Yes: Decades ago I served overseas as a pediatrician in a country where the pill had not caught on.It was not uncommon for a local woman to have 2-3 in her lifetime and go on to have a regular family. As long as the termination did not injure any working parts, they should work fine in the future.
