Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 429 women seeking abortion care at Marie stopes international Ethiopia clinics. Simple random sampling technique was used to selectstudy participants.

Result:The magnitude of repeat induced abortion is 33.6 %. Based on this study educational status of college diploma and above (AOR=9.2, 95%CI; 2.3-35.3), monthly income of ETB 1001-2000(AOR=3.7; CI: 1.7-7.8), and years in marriage of 2-5 years (AOR=3.3; 95%CI: 1.6- 6.7) and of 5-10 years (AOR=2.6; 95% CI: 1.3-4.9)last abortion time of 1-2years (AOR=0.4;95%CI:0.2-97) and above three years last time abortion (AOR=0.35; 95%CI:0.13- 0.9) significantly associated with the repeat induced abortion among reproductive age group of women at Maries topes international Ethiopia clinics in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Conclusion and recommendation: The finding of this study showed that the magnitude of repeat induced abortion is similar with the reports from developing countries but it was lower than that of developed countries.
