Today, the advent of ultrasound and amniocentesis has allowed couples to determine sex before birth. This has lead to the occurrence of sex selective abortion or the targeted termination of a fetus based upon its gender. It is suggested that sex selective abortion might be partially responsible for the noticeable disparities between the birth rates of male and daughter in some places. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy associated with the death of an embryo or a fetus. This can occur spontaneously, in the form of a miscarriage, or be intentionally induced through chemical, surgical, or other means. All mammalian pregnancies can be aborted; however, this article focuses exclusively on the abortion of human pregnancy. There have been various methods of inducing an abortion throughout the centuries.
