There are no limits to the number of abortions that a woman can have. Nevertheless, one abortion can cause serious life-long issues like sterility. Nobody can guarantee you that you won’t develop complications and/or adverse physical consequences from an abortion. There will always be a risk involved, both physically and emotionally.
