  1. Introduction Abortion Pills

  2. Information about abortion pills • Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus. An abortion that occurs without intervention is known as a miscarriage or "spontaneous abortion"; these occur in approximately 30% to 40% of pregnancies. 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. The reasons why women have abortions are diverse and vary across the world. Reasons include maternal health,]]an inability to afford a child, domestic violence, lack of support, feeling they are too young, wishing to complete education or advance a career,] and not being able or willing to raise a child conceived as a result of rape or incest.

  3. Types • 1] Induced • Approximately 205 million pregnancies occur each year worldwide. Over a third are unintended and about a fifth end in induced abortion.[25][38] Most abortions result from unintended pregnancies.[39][40] In the United Kingdom, 1 to 2% of abortions are done due to genetic problems in the fetus.[20] A pregnancy can be intentionally aborted in several ways. • 2] Spontaneous • Miscarriage, also known as spontaneous abortion, is the unintentional expulsion of an embryo or fetus before the 24th week of gestation.[46] A pregnancy that ends before 37 weeks of gestation resulting in a live-born infant is a "premature birth" or a "preterm birth".

  4. Unsafe abortion • Women seeking an abortion may use unsafe methods, especially when it is legally restricted. They may attempt self-induced abortion or seek the help of a person without proper medical training or facilities. This can lead to severe complications, such as incomplete abortion, sepsis, hemorrhage, and damage to internal organs

  5. Incidence • There are two commonly used methods of measuring the incidence of abortion: • Abortion rate – number of abortions annually per 1,000 women between 15 and 44 years of age;some sources use a range of 15–49. • Abortion percentage – number of abortions out of 100 known pregnancies; pregnancies include live births, abortions, and miscarriages. • In many places, where abortion is illegal or carries a heavy social stigma, medical reporting of abortion is not reliable. For this reason, estimates of the incidence of abortion must be made without determining certainty related to standard error.
