Abortion is "a medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus" (Dictionary Definition). According to "Abortion: An Overview," from point of reference database, abortion "used to be legal in the US and England but was later prohibited unless necessary to save the mother's life  (Rich and Wagner).
