Can abortions make you sick

Answer 1

If you live in the developed world where abortions are legal, they are a very safe, minor medical procedure. If the fetus is aborted before 7 weeks gestation, pharmaceuticals are often used, such as methotrexate plus a prostaglandin afterwards. While some people may suffer an adverse reaction to these drugs, they are widely used, with purposes other than abortions, so the risks are very small. After seven weeks gestation, the fetus is aborted surgically. Again, this is a minor procedure with very low risk. Like any surgical procedure, there is a small chance of an adverse effect (such as a reaction to the anesthesia), but the surgery itself is minimally invasive.

If you live in a country where abortion is illegal (often in the developing world), illegal abortions carry a much higher risk because they are often unsafe, due to problems like infection.
