Probably not. There is some evidence that many abortions can have an effect on a woman's fertility, however. If the abortions were all done properly, I dont think you have a thing to worry about.

My mom had 5 abortions shortly after they became legal, so I'm sure that not all of them were done the correct way. She has 2 kids, my sister and I. According to her, she had "NO problems getting pregnant!"

And, is it possible that the >abortions resulted in a lack of vaginal tightness (I was told this

I'm not sure. I guess it makes sense, since you're dialated to perform the procedures. But I'm sure that it's different for every woman, and depends on your age, how far along in your pregnancies you were before you had the abortions, etc.

Take care,
