Abortion refers to the termination of a pregnancy by removing or expelling the fetus from the uterus. It can occur spontaneously due to complications or be induced. Therapeutic abortions are done to preserve the health of the pregnant woman, while elective abortions are done for other reasons. Most people are against abortion no matter the reason (80%), while some support it in specific situations like rape (15%). A small minority are for abortion for any reason (5%). Common arguments against abortion are that it violates the fetus's life rights and is akin to murder, while arguments for it include not bringing a life into the world if it cannot be cared for and that the fetus does not feel anything. Some take an intermediate position supporting abortion
