Everyone knows that having an abortion has an effect on multiple people; whether it be the mother, friend, partner, or anyone. There are many different factors that are needed to be put into play when it comes to thinking about an abortion. Not only will it affect a body physically, it will affect it emotionally, and possibly affect those around you. There are several examples as to how abortion can harm your body physically.

“Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report fewer than one death per 100,000 legal abortions due to complications. Though rare, abortion can directly cause death as the result of bleeding, infection, organ damage, or other complications.
