I think they only way someone can tell if a woman had an abortion is if she has scar tissue but if an abotrtion is done correctly, there would be no scar tissue present.

No, scar tissue in the uterus would only come from surgery.

I meant any kind of surgery. I apologize. It doesn't necessarily have to come from a botched abortion is what I meant. :)

i dont believe there is a specific test that can be done to see if a woman has had an abortion, but i'm not sure. if there is scar tissue left after the procedure, a doctor would know that though, but scarring can occur for a number of reasons.

There is no way that anyone can tell if you've had an abortion. However, the cervix is dilated during a surgical abortion, so instead of it looking like a dimple, it looks like a slit (just as if a child was born.) If you are concerned about telling a doctor about an abortion, it is best to tell him. They will not be allowed to tell anyone without your consent. If you're worried about someone else that is going with you to the doctor's finding out, call ahead and ask them to please not mention it at all in front of anyone.
