I remember when my former sister-in-law had two abortions 30 years back. She was told after her second that she could not go through another abortion and so that is how my nephew was born.
Do they still do that?
If they do, how do they keep track when people give false information all the time?
Can a doctor know if a woman has had several abortions?
She was told it would be dangerous and possibly make her sterile.
Is that true?
If it is true. Can the morning after pill also make women sterile if over used?

They don’t.

Not unless she tells him/her

Is that true?
No, although any interuterine procedure increases the risk of sterility, no matter what it is. There’s nothing special about abortion, though in that regard.

No.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for your clear answers. :)
I like it when a person is thourough.
I know that in the former Soviet Union, multiple abortions were incredibly common…my mother’s had a dozen, at least, before I was born..and I, too, would have been an abortion but the abortion doctor wasn’t available..true story.
The process used to be very different, and could cause a woman to become sterile. The process has become quite a lot safer, and there’s no longer a risk of infertility attached.
