What would happen if you had an abortion after 1 month of pregnancy?
If the question is the long-term risks associated with an early (1 month) pregnancy, there are few. Most of those terminations can be performed medically, meaning that there is not a procedure that has to be done. This is unusual in that most people don't find out they are pregnant this early. However, if this is the case and you choose to have a termination, the risks include mostly bleeding, cramping and pain. READ MORE
