             Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth and is morally wrong. An abortion results in the death of an embryo or a fetus.

Mifepristone is just beginning to be used in the US. Long-term health risks are not yet known.
             Methotrexate: though not approved by the FDA for this use, a methotrexate injection kills the unborn child by interfering with the growth process (cell division). Several days later, the woman is treated with prosta
