	Abortion, Therapeutic: Encyclopedia of Medicine
		Women have abortions because continuing the pregnancy would cause them hardship, endanger their life or health, or because prenatal testing has shown that the fetus will be born with severe abnormalities.
		Abortions after 24 weeks are extremely rare and are usually limited to situations where the life of the mother is in danger.
		Regardless of the method used to perform the abortion, a woman will be observed for a period of time to make sure her blood pressure is stable and that bleeding is controlled.
