Definition of Abortion


Abortion: In medicine, an abortion is the
premature exit of the products of
conception (the fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta) from the
uterus. It is the loss of a pregnancy and does not refer to why that
pregnancy was lost. A spontaneous abortion is the same as
a miscarriage. The miscarriage of 3 or more consecutive pregnancies is termed habitual abortion.
