it has special complications due to the fact that it involves the reproductive system but sure. would you argue that, say, a surgeon should offer another random surgery, like an appendectomy, without even consulting the patient and their doctor on why it's necessary, given the potential side effects?
...No I would not recommend random performing of surgery, especially if that surgery is against the will of the woman, but then a patient saying they no longer wish to be pregnant is not a random performing of surgery. More then that doctors do tell women having an abortion the possible risks and complication both when having an in clinic abortion and when using an abortion pill. They also tell these women what to look out for in case of the rare serious complication that can arise...just like any other medical procedure or medicine. The reason why a woman is having an abortion, aside from the pregnancy itself being dangerous to the mother, does not have any effect on the risks of abortion itself.
