I think you've answered your own question. A child affects every life it touches. The child that would have been is no different; it had a mother, a father, grandparents, aunts & uncles, just like any other child. The only difference is the time was not right for this child; there will forever be an empty space where this life should have been. To not be affected, a person would have to be heartless. The decision to abort is probably the most difficult a woman will ever have to make. There is a rather crude saying, "if she's old enough to bleed, she's old enough to breed" that explains biology but not psychology. Her body may survive the delivery but her mind may not be as fortunate. It is for this reason that the ultimate decision of whether or not to have the child must be that of the mother. Promises of physical, emotional and financial support by the father mean nothing because of the things he can never do. He can never carry the child inside himself. He can never feel the child growing and moving. At the end of nine months, he will never be the one to deliver the child and either keep it while knowing he isn't ready to be a father or give it away for the same reason. Your uncle may grieve for his child but he needs to have some compassion too. The mother of his child made a decision that was right for her. I'm sure she considered her relationship with your uncle while making it. Although they may inhabit the same body, the man you know as your uncle is not the same man who met a woman, had a relationship with her and "got her pregnant". Your uncle may be great uncle material but not quite father material.

A woman is affected every time she has an abortion - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Your question needs to be more specific. Physically, you increase your risk of cervical (and other) cancers, your cervix becomes thinner with each abortion in the process of the scraping or D&C which may increase your risk of complications during any future pregnancies that you choose to allow to go to term. Mentally and emotionally, you do grieve or surpress the grieving process (some would deny this, but it does occur sooner or later) - psycologically choosing to terminate a pregnancy is not an easy or an obvious choice. Dealing with your own emotions, dealing with what could have been, dealing with your partner's response, dealing with family members' responses....all of these weigh heavily upon the woman. It is a burden to keep the abortion a secret if you have no support system. Spiritually speaking, you need to reconcile yourself with your belief system. As a Christian who has had an abortion, I can assure you that you are of value in the eyes of God and if you are pregnant, so is the child you are carrying. There are people out there who will support you through your pregnancy. Find a pregnancy support centre in your town or go to a Bible believing church and ask for help.

There really is no answer to this because you can have 10 with no complications and be fine. but if you have 1, one of the complications can be scarring, infection or some other damage. Abortion should only be used as a 1 time emergency. Not as birth control.

It's going to be different for every person. Someone may have only one and have scarring both physically and psychological. Someone else may have as many as 10 and never be affected. It depends completely on the person.

I would imagine that even one abortion would affect someone, whether it was emotionally or physically.

zero, it might not affect you for 10 years but some day youll see a new born baby or youll have kids of your own and all you will think about is who your unborn child could have been.
