Aspiring mothers welcome pregnancy. But sometimes, a woman may dread getting pregnant. Those who don’t want a baby may think of natural abortion methods. 

Pregnancy is not only a blessing; it is a responsibility too. And hence it is essential that a woman makes up her mind thoroughly before going ahead with a pregnancy. 

We don’t advocate or are debating any ethical concerns about abortion being the right of a woman or not. 

Indeed abortion is considered as the killing of a life. At the same time, it is worse to bring life to this world and not fulfill your responsibilities.

 So here we have enlisted and talked about everything regarding natural abortion methods.

The ways of natural abortion are nothing but causes of spontaneous abortion if unintentionally done to you.

What is natural abortion?

Natural abortion should not be confused with a miscarriage. Abortion is always intentional termination of pregnancy. Miscarriages are however mishaps.

So a natural abortion is not an abortion that happens spontaneously, and in fact, it is the use of natural remedies for inducing abortion.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists opposes the prosecution of women for self-induced abortion ¹.

In their report, it was found that over 700k women search for methods for a self-induced abortion every year. The decriminalization of self-induced abortion brings along a lot of risks too. Ethics and health are challenged, and women need to be more aware of alternatives.

What are the advantages of natural (self-induced) abortion?
