I have been in contact with the woman
wanting to know this question via private
messages and I did tell her that there is
no legal limit to the number of abortions
a woman is entitled to. However, I did
inform her that if she had had quite a lot
of terminations (five+) her gp could
(although he is not supposed to) refuse if
he is pro-life or disagrees with
carelessness (if this is the issue
here).
If you are reading this, you'll be fine;
trust me. A cousin of mine had three
terminations and bore a healthy daughter
in the end. Obviously with the more
abortions a woman has, the more risks
exist, but this is not really an issue
amongst us; chilbirth is eleven times more
health-provoking than abortion.

Some extra info krypos, if you are pming
her..
Sterility was especially an issue back in
the day due to severe infections that
often accompany illegal abortion.
Also, just on the subject of sterility,
i'm pretty sure it's low. My mum aborted
once before me and I was born healthy; my
cousin terminated three times and had a
healthy daughter; my auntie has had two
terminations and then three healthy,
lively boys. I'm very certain the woman
in question has nothing at all to worry
about.

I have a period and ovulate every month, I
have also had a transvaginal ultrasound
and other tests to ensure that my uterus
is normal.
I did this because so many pl people
states 'you are screwing up your insides',
so I had my insides looked at
my uterus is healthy and normal, with no
appearance of scar tissue of any kind.

I couldn't believe the reply from the Dr.
I have had two abortions - one at 20
weeks in 1973 and one at 12 wks in 1980.
I have two teenage children and had two
of the easiest pregnancies and deliveries
of anyone I know.
I recall in 1980 asking the clinic about
this prior to my second abortion and they
very matter of factly said - there is a
slight chance it may affect whether you
can get pregnant or carry to term but this
would be due to infections or problems
with the abortion.

and those chances are
very, very small. If I remember
correctly, less than 1% of abortions will
lead to complications and your health
condition at the time of the abortion is
the largest indicator of whether you will
have a complication or not.
