Abortion Safety / Is abortion safe?

Abortion is the most common outpatient surgical procedure in the country and it is extremely safe. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a leading public health research organization, abortion is 11 times safer than carrying a pregnancy to term. Less than 1% of all abortion patients experience a complication.

Observing all follow-up instructions and disclosing your full medical history can greatly reduce your risk of complications.
