of death from a
             first-term abortion is less than 1 in 100,000. The risk increases by about
             30 percent with each week of pregnancy after 12 weeks. Although it is so
             dangerous many women continue to have abortions. There are even
             some drug medications used to terminate a woman's pregnancy. In a
             method commonly referred to as the morning-after pill, a woman is given
             large doses of estrogen which is a female hormone within 72 hours of
             unprotected sexual intercourse and again 12 hours later. This high dose
             stops the fetus from any further development at the earliest stages after
             conception. Or the point when a man's sperm fertilizes a woman's egg.
             Typical side effects of the morning-after pill may include nausea,
             headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, and sometimes fluid retention.
             During the first seven weeks of pregnancy a combination of two
             drugs can be given in pill form to make a fetus. A pregnant woman first
             takes a drug which blocks progesterone, which is a hormone needed to
             maintain pregnancy. About 48 hours later she takes another drug which
             is a hormone like chemical produced by the body that causes
             contractions of the uterus, the organ in which the fetus develops. These
             contractions expel the fetus. Misoprostol, which is another kind of drug
             can also induce abortion when it is mixed with a different drug that
             interferes with cell division. A doctor first injects a pregnant woman
             with one kind of drug and about a week later the woman takes another
             drug to induce contractions and to expel to fetus. When you combine
             these two kinds of drugs it usually ends pregnancy effectively according
             to the 95 percent of the woman who have taken them. Although, some
             woman experience cramps, bleeding and nausea. Some of the cases are
             more serious, such as pneumonia, edema, arrhythmia and they effect the
             heart and lungs which may cause death.
