Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removal of the developing fetus from the uterus.
This type of abortion can be done up to seven weeks from when a woman got her last menstrual period. American women need abortion services. No contraceptive works 100 percent of the time, even when it is used correctly all the time. Because women can get pregnant for twenty-five to thirty years, it is not surprising that unintended pregnancies are a common experience.
