Abortion

Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before fetal viability. It can be spontaneous or artificial.

Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) occurs for natural reasons, most often due to pathology of fetal development or maternal diseases.

An artificial abortion is performed at the request of the woman or for medical reasons when continuing the pregnancy is dangerous to the health and life of the mother.

Abortions are performed only in medical institutions by a medical specialist. Criminal abortion in unsterile conditions is dangerous to the life and health of a woman.

Abortion has a negative impact on reproductive function. Frequent abortions increase the risk of infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and premature birth.

Preventing unwanted pregnancy is an important task in reproductive health. Modern contraception and sex education are effective methods.

**Abortion** is the forced termination of pregnancy in the early stages, with or without the use of various medical methods.

The natural right of people of all nationalities to freedom and equality before the law is embodied in the prohibition of discrimination based on gender.
