A termination of pregnancy is when a pregnancy is ended intentionally. It is often referred to as an ‘abortion’ – although doctors use the word abortion to mean any pregnancy which ends before 24 weeks gestation whether intentionally or because of a miscarriage. Other than in exceptional circumstances the legal upper time limit for a termination to be done is 24 weeks gestation.
