An abortion is a medical procedure to end a pregnancy. It is done by a licensed health care professional. It can be done two different ways: Medication abortion, which uses medicines to end the pregnancy. It is sometimes called a "medical abortion" or "abortion with pills." Procedural abortion, a procedure to remove the pregnancy from the uterus. It is sometimes called a "surgical abortion."

You might feel that you need an abortion for any number of reasons. Some women feel like now isn’t a good time to have a baby, or they worry that they won’t be able to continue on in school. Other reasons women share:
