Will abortion affect future pregnancies?

Surgery carries a risk – especially “invasive” surgery, which means it involves inserting an instrument into your body. All surgical abortion procedures are invasive and do carry a normal surgical risk. Risk is also dependent on the proficiency of the doctor performing the surgery.
