Abortion is the medical terminology used in a pregnancy. It means removal or discharge of a fetus or embryo from the uterus. It may be resulting into death or any other medical disorder. As such abortion occurs impulsively due to complications during pregnancy. Induction is also quite possible in this case esp. for human being & other species. Human pregnancies, an abortion induced to protect the health of the pregnant female, is termed a therapeutic abortion, while an abortion induced for any other motive is termed an optional abortion.
Generally it is due to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are also called miscarriages. Abortion is the expulsion of an embryo or fetus due to unintentional trauma or natural causes before the 22nd week of gestation. According to Medical Science, most of the miscarriages are due to improper duplication of chromosomes; even they can also be caused by some environmental factors. An abortion is considered as elective or optional when it is performed at the demand of the woman “for reasons other than maternal health or fetal disease.” Abortion is surrounded by personal reasons especially in elective ones.
Abortion is now performed legally in many developed countries, as it is also the safest procedures in medicine. Experts say, at this case risk of maternal death is between 0.2-1.2 per 100,000 procedures. If we compare the figure, quite interesting as by 1996, mortality from childbirth in developed countries was 11 times greater.
