Abortions following a non-induced infra-uterine death, which may have occurred some time before expulsion, are called spontaneous abortions ¹ or miscarriages ¹, in contrast to intentional abortions ², or induced abortions ². A therapeutic abortion ³ is one undertaken for medical reasons. The laws of certain countries permit abortions for health or other reasons; these are legal abortions ⁴. Abortions which are induced contrary to law are called illegal abortions ⁵ or criminal abortions ⁵. According to the technique used, there are abortions by curettage ⁶, abortions by vacuum aspiration ⁷, abortions by dilatation and evacuation ⁷, hysterotomies ⁸ (involving surgical cutting into the uterus), and abortions by medical induction procedures ⁹.

6. Also called abortions by dilatation and curettage, (abbreviated to D and C).
7. Also called abortions by suction. When the procedure is used very soon after a presumed conception, the terms menstrual regulation or menstrual extraction are used.
9. Such procedures involve amniotic fluid exchange as in the instance of an abortion by saline injection, or the use of prostaglandins.
