What if periods are late by 10 days?

I'm feeling really unsure and need some advice. My girlfriend got pregnant back in January 2018, and we decided to go for an abortion. She's O negative and I'm B positive, so the doctor gave her an anti-D injection back then. Now, she's pregnant again in June 2018, and we're considering another abortion because we're not ready for a baby. I'm a bit worried and wondering if she needs another anti-D injection this time. Also, what's the best way to go about the abortion safely? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm about six months pregnant and recently felt a strong pain in my lower right back. When I went to the doctor, they did a urine test and told me I have 810 cells of pus in my uterus. Now I'm worried because they also said my baby and placenta are low because of this infection. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my pregnancy?

Pus cells in the urine indicate an infection, which is common in pregnancy, please be hydrated and
