If a woman has an abortion, and becomes pregnant again does this leave any problems if she wants to get pregnant in the future? With like carriing, delivering, or after the baby is born?

Yes, studies have shown that having an induced abortion might put a woman at risk for fertility problems and difficulties carrying a baby to full term. Some women don't have any problems after an abortion, and some do. You just never know, but studies have definitely shown that your risk is increased.
Even women who have had so-called "safe" abortions performed by a "professional" with proper "follow-up" have still reported subsequent problems.
There's a lot of "research" that's spouted by pro-abortion folks mining the internet for statistics to support their beliefs, but few actually take the time to read the studies. I HAVE and there are many studies which clearly show that abortion increases a woman's risks for many reproductive problems.
Bottom line - abortion is never 100% safe, but if you are concerned about future pregnancies and want to have a baby, you could see a specialist and have a full exam to see if there are any obvious problems that might cause complications. It might also put your mind at ease if you discover you have a clean bill of health and excellent chances of being a mother one day.
God bless.

It depends on such factors such as the gestational length of pregnancy, what type of abortion was preformed, who preformed the abortion, and her general health. However, fertility after abortion is only at risk in the rare instance in which a major complication occurs. The rates of complications are as follows: 1-2% for a first trimester manual or vacuum aspiration, 5% for a first-trimester D&C, and 7% for a second trimester D&E or D&X. Medical abortions, such as RU-486 and methotrexate, are just beginning to be studied in terms of having an impact on future fertility. The medical abortions are not invasive, however, so their risks to future fertility would be lower.
However, if she had an sterile and uncomplicated abortion in the first trimester and she followed all the post-care instructions, then no, it shouldn't affect her future ability to conceive and carry to term.

I don't now but i know of some people who cry after having that procedure done. I ask them why do you cry and they say that their biggest regret in their whole life is having had an abortion. I don't know but it seems like this is something that they carry with them for life. What ever the circumstances are think it threw very well and think it threw to what your heart may feel later in the future not just now.

It really depends on how the procedure was perfomed and other factors with your health. You should talk with a doctor first.
I know there are women who have had abortions and gone on to have babies
Also, I'd just like to apologize on behalf of all the people who will undoubtedly say horrible things about abortion and the people who get them. While I personally don't believe in it, it's YOUR choice and people need to remember that.

A medical abortion is unlikely to affect a woman's future reproductive health, a new study reports.
The rates of ectopic pregnancy in subsequent pregnancies were 2.4 percent for medical abortion and 2.3 percent for surgical abortion. The rate of miscarriage was 12.2 percent for the medical abortion group and 12.7 percent for the surgical group. Rates of preterm labor and low birth weight babies were also lower for the medical abortion group compared to the surgical abortion group.
Even after adjusting for maternal age, gestational age and socioeconomic status, the researchers didn't find any statistically significant difference in complications of future pregnancies between the medical and surgical abortion groups.

If the fetus is female it definitely will never become pregnant if aborted. If the fetus is male it will never father children if aborted. Of course I know you are refering to yourself. Ask an OBGYN.
