the claim
Having an abortion causes infertility in later life.
the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against
Is it true that having an abortion causes infertility in later life?
Partly. One official source (NHS) indicates abortion is generally safe and that infertility is only a small risk from an untreated infection, while a WHO official names unsafe abortion practices among causes of infertility. Neither settles whether abortion generally causes infertility in later life.
