the womb. This is a process of termination of life of the fetus before given a chance to
grow.

1. Spontaneous abortion / Natural
2. Abortion Artificial / Intentionally
3. Therapeutic Abortion / Medical

quality eggs and sperm cells, whereas
Artificial abortion / termination of pregnancy on purpose is the womb before the age of
28 weeks as a result of deliberate and conscious action by the prospective mother or the
executor of abortion (in this case doctors, midwives or traditional birth attendants).
Therapeutic abortion / medical is artificial abortions performed on medical indications.

or severe heart disease that could endanger both the mother and the fetus she is
carrying. But this is all over medical considerations are mature and not in a hurry.
