Maybe: The real issue here is that you do not want to be pregnant and are not making good choices about your contraception. It is unlikely that you would have gotten pregnant again so soon after an abortion but if you really don't want to get pregnant you need much better birth control! my advice would be to get started on a reversible long acting contraceptive like the shot, and iud or implant.
