Abortion
is the termination of a pregnancy by extracting or expelling the
embryo or foetus, from the womb.
"Every 26 seconds...a woman lays down
her body down, forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical
resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection that society
has failed women"
– Patricia Heaton Emmy Winner and Honorary Chair for Feminists
