I have seen a confession in a confession site whereby a women confesses of having physical relationship with several people and had two abortions before marriage, now it seems that the lady has developed some complications which prevents her from conceiving a child. I would like to request those knowledgeable people here to clarify if this is scientific. Or is it that the lady has developed conditions leading to her infertility for reasons completely different from her past abortions.
