This is a question that are being asked by women of all ages.
Women maybe, by acts of omission or commission, have had abortions in their lives and now are planning to get pregnant naturally.
There have been claims and counter claims by pro and anti-abortionist on the link between abortion and infertility.
From various researches conducted on the Internet and off the Internet, though no operation is risk free, abortions rarely cause infertility if clinically done.
In times gone, before abortions were legal, operations were performed outside the law most often by backstreet abortionist using unsterilized and dangerous equipment.
Complications were rife after such procedure ranging from pains, bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, puncture of the cervix to infertility and even death.
More so, anti- abortionist sometimes used infertility to frighten women from having abortion.
Although morally, they might have been right in their convictions, the truth remains that an operation carried out under general anesthesia, in a sterile environment, under sympathetic staff and regulated fashion, provided there is no post operative infection, rarely causes infertility.
Abortions can only cause infertility when it has become complicated with an endometrial infection that can cause strictures in the uterine cavity but infertility as a legal termination carried out by a skilled doctor is rare.
Women who are trying to get pregnant after having had an abortion in the past have other chances of getting pregnant as all hope is not lost.
