Induced Abortion : It refers to the premature expulsion of the conception products from the uterus, usually before the 20th week of pregnancy. An abortion may be spontaneous (naturally occurring), sometimes called a miscarriage or induced (intentionally performed). When birth control methods are not used or fail to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, induced abortion may be performed. Induced abortions may involve vacuum aspiration (suction), infusion of a saline solution, or surgical evacuation (scraping).
Certain drugs, most notably the French drug RU-486, can induce, a so-called nonsurgical abortion. RU-486 (mifepristone) is an antiprogestin; it blocks the action of progesterone. Progesterone prepares the uterine endometrium for implantation. If progesterone levels fall during pregnancy or if the action of the hormone is blocked, menstruation occurs and the embryo is sloughed off along with the uterine lining.
