Abortion is the termination of pregnancy through the expulsion or removal of the fetus from the uterus or death. In addition, abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy.

The term abortion is often induced abortion for pregnant women, while that of spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages.
