Abortion is a medical procedure for women. Most of the time when a woman decides to have an abortion she is pregnant and she’s not ready to have a baby and become a parent. The doctor can help her end the pregnancy soon after she becomes pregnant. She can have surgery or take some medicine to end the pregnancy.
When a woman ends her pregnancy like this, it’s usually very, very early in the pregnancy—when the baby is still a very small embryo—not late in the pregnancy when the baby is more developed.
It’s important to know that when women make this decision, they usually think a lot about it and make sure they know it is the right decision for them. It is usually a conscious choice they make and not something they are forced to do.
