Most are not life-threatening, though on in one-hundred may require immediate emergency care. • Just a few of the potential health risks of abortion include: • Complicated surgical abortions followed by incomplete abortions • Prolonged and heavy bleeding conditions • Serious infections and fever • Digestive problems and discomfort

  3. Negative emotional reactions to abortion are more common than physical problems. These abortion risks include: • Sadness, shame, guilt • Anger, rage, and blame of others or self • Suicidal thoughts and behaviors • Substance abuse and dependency • Sleep disturbances and nightmares • Flashbacks • Jealousy or aversion to pregnant women or babies • Loss of pleasure with sex • Desire for a replacement pregnancy • Negative feelings after an abortion are difficult to overcome on one’s own.
