"Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death.[1] An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced, in humans and other species. In the context of human pregnancies, an abortion induced to preserve the health of the gravida (pregnant female) is termed a therapeutic abortion, while an abortion induced for any other reason is termed an elective abortion. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages. "
In my country Namibia abortion is illegal thus it brings alot of arguments as their are always cases in which individuals often feel they are not ready to have a child. This often leads them to try and abort the child without any profesional medical care or know how. Their were many cases in which women lost their lives in the process of trying to abort their babies by themselves as they consume very toxic liquids in the hope of killing their infants.
