Abortion is a topic of mixed judgment and reactions but in this post, I will be talking about the truth regarding abortion based on science. I will be looking into miscarriages and the loss of pregnancy. I will not discuss beliefs, perspectives, and politics surrounding it, we will just be doing pure science.

When abortion is mentioned, induced abortion which is the medical process of ending pregnancy is usually the thought, and I should focus on that since that is what a lot of us know but then, there are other types of abortion including spontaneous abortion also known as miscarriages, where the body terminates a pregnancy before the time of deivery on its own. Don’t judge me, I’m just doing science.

So, there are two main ways induced abortion can occur, one by pills which is often taken for two days and is prescribed by a doctor. The function of the first pill is to stop the pregnancy from developing thereby preventing any further growth, while the second pill is to empty the uterus.

When pills are used, people take them at home or in a medical facility. In this part of the world, a lot of people swallow very dangerous things to perform an abortion because of the stigma associated with how they got pregnant. This is not a good thing and corrections should be made. When abortions are done by a trained medical practitioner, there are rarely complications. A medical abortion with pills can happen for up to 10 to 11 weeks after the first day of the last period.

The second type of medical abortion is in-clinic abortion where a light suction is used to empty the uterus and this procedure can last up to 10 minutes and this can be done on a pregnancy of 14 to 16 weeks after the first day of the last period but then there is a mother type that can be performed on a pregnancy that is up to 24 weeks after the first day of the last period, but these types are less common, they can take longer time, and could look like one is birthing the fetus itself.

Unlike in the past, there have been lesser numbers of people having abortions and this could be traced to access to sex knowledge, better contraceptives, and fewer teenagers engaging in early sex. Why a lot of people go through the process of abortion is partly for financial reasons, some because they want it to interfere with their studies or their job, some people don't want to have too many kids while others had to do an abortion for medical reasons.

Everyone's feelings about abortion are different and while people who have had them might have different feelings at the beginning, studies have shown that over the years, they feel better and come to the conclusion that getting the abortion was the right decision to make.

Legally, abortion laws differ in different countries, and different people with different religious beliefs have varying views about abortion. In all, there are two type of people when the topic of abortion is raised. There are those who are for it, and those who are against it.
