What exactly is an abortion? Plainly speaking an abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. It can happen naturally, while the embryo is developing, which is more commonly known as a miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion. An induced abortion is when the woman decides that she does not want the baby and then has the fetus or embryo removed from her body either surgically or medically.
There are many reasons why a woman would want to end her pregnancy. Many teenagers or women get pregnant by accident before they are actually ready to take the responsibility of being a parent. On the other hand some women feel like they have enough children and do not want anymore. Because of societal pressures, a woman may want to get rid of the baby mainly because she does not want to deal with the repercussions of being branded as a woman who has had sex before marriage. Some women feel that they do not have enough money to provide for a baby and (if they are unmarried) do not want to raise the child on her own without any help. A lot of times, either the woman's health, or the baby's health is in danger and therefore, she would be better off aborting the child. And finally, many women who are victims of rape and incest get abortions
