Pregnancy Abortion
A pregnancy can also stop without the baby being born. This is called abortion. Abortion can happen spontaneously, because there is a problem with the baby or the mother. Doctors can also do things that will cause an abortion to happen. Such an abortion is called 'induced abortion'. Different countries have laws about induced abortions. Some countries allow it, and others do not. People also have different opinions about abortion. Often, these are influenced by religious beliefs.
