Conservative surgery for small unruptured ectopics restores tubal patency in over 80% of cases. In general, the ratio of intrauterine to recurrent ectopic is about 6:1 but it rises to about 10:1 if the other tube appears normal.
After one ectopic and a tubal sparing surgery:
The subsequent delivery rate is about 55-60%.
The recurrent ectopic rate is about 15% (so about 20% of pregnancies are ectopics).
The infertility rate is about 25-30%.
If the other tube is absent or blocked:
The subsequent delivery rate is about 45-50%.
The recurrent ectopic rate is about 20% (so about 30% of pregnancies are ectopics).
The infertility rate is about 30-35%.
After 2 or more ectopics and conservative surgery:
The subsequent delivery rate is about 30%.
The recurrent ectopic rate is about 20-30% (so about 50% of pregnancies are ectopics).
The infertility rate is about 40-50%.
As a woman has more and more ectopics, the chances for a delivery (without treatment) become less and less. In vitro fertilization (IVF) will be the best option for attaining a successful pregnancy for many women with a history of tubal damage and one or more ectopic pregnancies.
Pregnancy rates with IVF are very good in (young) women with tubal problems, and a tubal pregnancy results from IVF in only about 2-4% of cases.
As for abortion, a safe, uncomplicated, legal abortion should not affect future fertility whatsoever.

Pregancy in the fallopian tube wil surely reduce the chances of having children. Abortions performed by unqualified persons can hinder one from having childrens. Chances are 50/50
