Fibroids: Fibroids will not keep you from being able to have an abortion if you so desire one, it will just make it more complicated. It may be that a medical abortion may be a better option than a surgical one in your situation. Just be sure to let your doctor know about them. Good luck, whatever you decide.

Depends: if you need to have an abortion, do not let fibroids, prevent you from obtaining an abortion because there are many specialists all over the nation who can provide a safe abortion with ultrasound if needed. You may have a little bit more bleeding or it may be more difficult to do, but not impossible and still safer than a unplanned, unintended pregnancy.
