Can abortion affect children who are born later?
Yes. Many women who have abortions experience physical problems with future pregnancies, including miscarriages, ectopic (tubal) pregnancies, stillbirths, and premature birth (which affects children’s development). Other physical complications could lead to sterility or difficulty conceiving a child. Children can also be affected by the mother’s emotional problems. Many women either have difficulty bonding with their children or become very overprotective.
