What does “Abortion” mean?
Abortion means removal of a pregnancy before the baby is capable of survival outside the womb. This contrasts with the lay view, which usually assumes that “an abortion” means that the pregnancy has been deliberately terminated. A spontaneous abortion means that the pregnancy has been lost as a result of a natural process. ...

Legal abortion is the most frequently performed operation in the UK with about half these operations being undertaken within the NHS.
