An abortion is a medical intervention involving the deliberate termination of the new life growing in the womb. Until seven weeks after conception, a woman can choose to take an abortion pill to provoke a miscarriage.
Until the twelfth week of pregnancy, the foetus can be sucked out of the womb (curettage with suction) using a powerful suction device. After the twelfth week, the baby can be extracted from the womb in parts in an operation (evacuation).
