Can I Still Have Other Children?

Yes. Numerous large multi-center studies have demonstrated that there appears to be no effect, whatsoever, on future fertility related to an abortion that has had no complications. This is true regardless of the number of abortions a woman may have. Some women have reported having had twenty or more abortions in a lifetime, with no effect on fertility.

This appears to be the case for all women, provided that no complication occurs during any of the abortions. If complications do occur, then it is possible that a woman's fertility may be affected. One of the rare, but known and accepted complications is hysterectomy, which results in sterility. This complication occurs in less than 1 in 10,000 abortions. However, more than 99% of all first trimester abortions in the U.S are without any complications whatsoever. We are proud that our complication rates are well below the national average.
