Abortion is the deliberate ending of a pregnancy. An abortion is not a method of contraception as an egg has already been fertilised.
People may have an abortion because of several reasons, such as, the baby was severely deformed physically or mentally, the life of the mother is endangered if the pregnancy continues, the pregnancy is unplanned or if the couple is poor and cannot afford another baby.
An abortion can be dangerous for a woman as the uterus and fallopian tubes can become infected during the process and therefore, making it more difficult for a woman to become pregnant again. A lot of blood can also be lost from the vagina and excessive blood loss can lead to death. The instruments used for an abortion may puncture the uterus, also resulting in blood loss.
