Agreed. If a parent wants to abort their child at any age up to 18, then they should be able to. Sometimes parents take a long time to recognize their mistakes and they should be able to undo them legally.
Are you trying to be funny?
As you most likely know abortions can not take place after birth.
And abortion means a fetus is expelled. Some abortions such as a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion happens naturally when a fetus has died in womb from natural causes. Some times a woman has what is called a missed abortion when the fetus has died in womb but it was not expelled naturally. In cases like those the woman needs a therapeutic abortion to remove the dead fetal material and prevent an infection.
Sometimes if a woman chooses not to continue a pregnancy she might opt for an induced abortion.
As you see now ...not all abortions are elective some are spontaneous , others are medically needed and some are induced.
