Abortion This word has two basic meanings. ...
There are two types of abortions:
Accidental abortion: a termination of pregnancy before viability that occurs naturally,
without medical intervention. ...
Therapeutic abortion: a termination of pregnancy via the intervention of a physician through
surgery or the use of RU-486 or some other medication.
Abortion, in America today, is the tragic consequence of a society that no longer values
life. ...
The overall abortion rate in the United States decreased by 11% between 1994 and 2000, from 24
to 21 abortions each year per 1,000 women aged 15–44. ... Declines in abortion rates were especially steep among adolescents, particularly 15–
17-year-olds. ... Although abortion rates have declined for most women, they
have increased among the economically disadvantaged. High levels of abortion among economically
disadvantaged women reflect that these women have high pregnancy rates, as well as a greater
likelihood than women with higher incomes of ending a pregnancy in abortion. Overall, women who
are better-off have lower pregnancy and abortion rates than poor and low-income women.
