No: Those aren't considered potential complications of medical abortion. They are rare complications of surgical abortion.

Tubal/Uterine damage: Medically induced abortions rarely cause any type of damage to the uterus or tubes, unless its associated with infection (septic abortion) and/or associated surgical abortion (d&c).
