What is a Abortion?

Abortion is a medical procedure used to end a pregnancy. The method depends on the stage of pregnancy and overall health:

• Medical Abortion: Uses medication to end an early pregnancy (up to about 10 weeks).
• Surgical Abortion: Performed in hospitals through methods like vacuum aspiration or dilation and curettage (D and C).
• Induced Abortion: Done intentionally for medical or personal reasons.

People choose abortion or medical termination of pregnancy to end an unintended pregnancy safely, protect maternal health, or avoid complications in high-risk cases. All procedures are performed under professional supervision. Some may cause mild temporary effects such as cramping or mild bleeding.
