An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It's also sometimes known as a termination of pregnancy. The pregnancy is ended either by taking medicines or having a surgical procedure.
Law of Abortion in USA

More bills are being drafted and considered in states across the country. Missouri, for instance, may attempt to regulate its citizens’ access to abortion even beyond its own boundaries. Louisiana considered making abortion, as well as contraception that does not prevent fertilization, including some intrauterine devices and Plan B punishable as murder. In the face of national outcry, some members of the Louisiana legislature impressed upon the bill’s primary champion that they would only support the bill if it were changed dramatically, forcing him to withdraw it. Though the bill is currently not on the path to becoming law, Louisiana’s House Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice voted it out of committee favorably, 7-2, in early May.
The extent to which the proposed legislation and newly enacted laws are misaligned with the values of the American public and restrict individual freedom, particularly for women, shocks the conscience—a standard, it should be noted, that the Supreme Court has applied in other legal contexts. As the country awaits the Supreme Court’s final decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, it is important to shine light on the myriad ways in which opponents of abortion are pursuing unprecedented incursions on fundamental constitutional rights and actively disregarding the well-being and dignity of those who need care.
