Introduction
I will investigate abortions reasons for and against abortions and what they consist of and why they are made legal.

Study
Abortions are removing or destroying an embryo or fetus from the uterus. There are two main different ways it can happen as a miscarriage or it can be surgically removed by surgery or by a chemical. Chemical abortion can be caused by certain drugs, administered in varying ways, which act upon the hormones of the mother to create a situation in which a newly-formed human being, known as a zygote or embryo at this stage, cannot survive. Most of these chemicals are used in combination, one drug to ensure that the embryo is killed, and a second to induce contractions so that the dead embryo is expelled from the uterus of the mother. In a vacuum aspiration abortion a tube is gently inserted into the womb through the cervix. The contents of the womb are sucked out through this tube. Dilatation and evacuation, dilatation and curettage: In this method the woman's cervical canal is enlarged with tools called dilators. When the canal is sufficiently enlarged the womb is emptied by suction, or by having its contents scraped out with a tool called a curette. Miscarriages are usually accidental not caused by the woman it could have been naturally done by wrong replication of the chromosomes. Abortions cannot be performed after the 28th week of pregnancy. Surgeries should not perform it on a patient afterward.
