Yes, abortion is safe. In fact, abortion is one of the safest and most common surgical procedures in the United States. It is estimated that 1 in 4 pregnant people will have an abortion by age 45, and that 60% are already parents at the time of their abortion. Although every procedure carries some risk — like the abortion not terminating the pregnancy, heavy bleeding occurring after the procedure, infection, etc. — abortion is a safer procedure than the risks involved with carrying a pregnancy to term and delivering vaginally. At or before 8 weeks, less than 0.3% of patients experience a complication from their first trimester abortion procedure.
