MYTH: Abortion is a risk free procedure that will not harm you physically.
FACT: Up to 10% of women suffer an infection after abortion. Antibiotics are usually prescribed to prevent infection. Untreated infection can affect your future fertility. Your risk of infection is much higher if you have a sexually transmitted infection at the time of the abortion. (Thorpe. N.
