How long before an abortion?

When an unwanted pregnancy occurs, many women are confronted with the question: "How and how long before the abortion is allowed?".

There is no completely safe method of abortion today. Any method can lead to the emergence of various complications, such as bleeding and inflammatory processes. It is these consequences of abortion that often cause the subsequent absence of a desired pregnancy.
