ABORTION
Abortion is the medical term for any
interruption of a pregnancy before a
fetus is viable (able to survive
outside the uterus if born at that
time). A viable fetus is usually
defined as a fetus of more than 20 to
24 weeks of gestation or one that
weighs at least 500 g. A fetus born
before this point is considered a
miscarriage or premature or immature
birth (Cootauco & Althaus, 2007).
