Abortion and Infertility
Unless a major infection occurs, there is no evidence that abortions affect future fertility, cause stillbirths, ectopic pregnancies, low birth weight babies or birth defects. Some studies suggest a slightly increased risk of late miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies, caused by 'cervical incompetence' - the cervix not being able to remain tightly closed during pregnancy. But as techniques for abortion are improved, this should happen less and less.
There is also no evidence that repeat abortions carry an increased risk of most problems, although some studies show a slightly higher risk of miscarriage. There is now greater awareness about sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia (a bacterial infection) and their effect on fertility. Screening before abortions, and a course of antibiotics if necessary, can cut down the incidence of infection-related infertility.
Taking care of yourself after an abortion is important and any problems should be reported to your doctor or clinic immediately to reduce long term effects on your reproductive health.Anti-abortionists claim that abortions have grave side effect, in order to deter women from ending an unwanted pregnancy. This is scaremongering and very unethical. The relatively few risks associated with abortion must always be considered in relation to the risks of continuing with an unwanted pregnancy. Only the woman herself can assess this
Who to See About Getting an NHS Abortion
Go to your own GP as soon as possible. Be clear and firm about explaining your reasons for wanting an abortion. Not all doctors have the same policy on abortion. You should be able to find out your doctor’s attitude to abortion from the practice leaflet. Doctors with specific religious views may be against abortion, except in certain circumstances, but in this case they are obliged to refer you to another GP. Other doctors, holding other views, may be more immediately sympathetic.
Be prepared to answer a few questions about why you want an abortion. Even if your GP is sympathetic, s/he needs a clear indication that you've considered all the options and have come to a firm conclusion.If you would rather not go to your own doctor, or if s/he will not help you to get an NHS abortion, you can:
Try to see another doctor who might be more sympathetic (this may take up valuable time).
Try your family planning clinic. Some can refer you to your local hospital.
Go to your local BPAS or Brook Advisory Centre. They refer women to the NHS for free abortions whenever possible and desirable.
