    Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing or expelling the embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus. It can occur spontaneously as a miscarriage or be induced. Induced abortion is done deliberately to end a pregnancy. When done safely by trained professionals, abortion is one of the safest medical procedures but unsafe abortions can cause maternal death. Around 56 million abortions occur globally each year, with nearly half being unsafe. Views and laws regarding abortion vary worldwide and there is ongoing debate around the moral, ethical, and legal issues surrounding abortion.

    WHAT IS ABORTION ?

    Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it can survive
    outside the uterus. An abortion that occurs without intervention is known as a miscarriage or spontaneous
    abortion. When deliberate steps are taken to end a pregnancy, it is called an induced abortion, or less
    frequently "induced miscarriage". The unmodified word abortion generally refers to an induced abortion. A
    similar procedure after the fetus has potential to survive outside the womb is known as a "late termination
    of pregnancy" or less accurately as a "late term abortion".

    Properly done, abortion is one of the safest procedures in medicine, but unsafe abortion is a major cause of
    maternal death, especially in the developing world. Making safe abortion legal and accessible reduces
    maternal deaths. It is safer than childbirth, which has a 14 times higher risk of death in the United States.
    Modern methods use medication or surgery for abortions. The drug mifepristone in combination with
    prostaglandin appears to be as safe and effective as surgery during the first and second trimester of
    pregnancy. The most common surgical technique involves dilating the cervix and using a suction device.
    Birth control, such as the pill or intrauterine devices, can be used immediately following abortion. When
    performed legally and safely on a woman who desires it, induced abortions do not increase the risk of long-
    term mental or physical problems. In contrast, unsafe abortions (those performed by unskilled individuals,
    with hazardous equipment, or in unsanitary facilities) cause 47,000 deaths and 5 million hospital
    admissions each year. The World Health Organization recommends safe and legal abortions be available to
    all women.

    Around 56 million abortions are performed each year in the world, with about 45% done unsafely. Abortion
    rates changed little between 2003 and 2008, before which they decreased for at least two decades as access
    to family planning and birth control increased. As of 2008, 40% of the world's women had access to legal
    abortions without limits as to reason. Countries that permit abortions have different limits on how late in
    pregnancy abortion is allowed.

    Historically, abortions have been attempted using herbal medicines, sharp tools, forceful massage, or
    through other traditional methods. Abortion laws and cultural or religious views of abortions are different
    around the world. In some areas abortion is legal only in specific cases such as rape, problems with the
    fetus, poverty, risk to a woman's health, or incest. There is debate over the moral, ethical, and legal issues
    of abortion. Those who oppose abortion often argue that an embryo or fetus is a human with a right to life,
    and they may compare abortion to murder. Those who support the legality of abortion often hold that it is
    part of a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. Others favor legal and accessible abortion
    as a public health measure.
