Abortion is a process of ending a pregnancy and is also referred to as termination of pregnancy. It is estimated that 1 in 3 women in the world practice abortion.
There are two types of abortion; safe abortion is the termination of pregnancy by a well-trained, recognized, professional and licensed person/doctor at a medical facility while unsafe abortion is the termination of pregnancy by unskilled person or in an environment that does not conform to minimal medical standards.
