I don’t mean medical abortions, for example, to prevent the death of the mother if carrying through with the pregnancy meant both she and the baby would die. I mean abortions done due to the pregnancy simply being an inconvenience.
A medical abortion is an abortion done by a doctor (for what ever reason) also called an induced abortion. Not-medical abortion is the morning after pill. Spontaneous abortion is the medical term for a miscarriage.
