Is abortion in Week 6 risky?

Q: I got married recently. My wife is pregnant. We aren't emotionally and financially ready for the added responsibility. Hence, we are contemplating abortion. My wife is 27 years old. She is about six to seven weeks into pregnancy. Can abortion create complications in the future? Is it safe? We don't want to regret later on. Kindly advise.

A: If done under strict surgical conditions, the abortion process will not affect the future. However, I strongly suggest you rethink your decision. Your wife is already 27 years old. Once accepted, the pregnancy will pass by happily. She can continue working till the eighth month of her pregnancy. Both of you will not regret the decision. Sex can also continue, but follow the instructions of her doctor.
