Can a 5-month pregnant woman have an abortion?

Patient's question:

Can I have an abortion at 5 months pregnant? During my pregnancy, my husband had an affair with another woman, which was discovered immediately. Now he doesn't want the child and wants to get married. What adverse reactions might occur if I have the abortion after these five months? Is there also a risk to my own life?

Doctor's answer:

Now you are five months pregnant and it is no longer possible to perform an abortion, so you will have to undergo induction of labor. However, induction of labor can cause significant harm to women and may result in the possibility of being unable to conceive in the future. For the sake of your future, it is best to focus on preserving the child. If he admits his mistake and dedicates himself to living with you, it would be better to focus on preserving the pregnancy. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
