Answer
Kate,

Bleeding is one of the possible risks of abortion. You need to call the clinic or whoever performed the abortion. Or you could just contact your regular doctor if you can't reach the clinic. You might have to go to an emergency room if you have severe bleeding. This could be very dangerous. Please don't wait too long.
