Abortion
is legal to some extent in all but 21 countries. Worldwide, roughly 46

weeks, the baby sucks its thumb, jumps, frowns, swallows, and moves its
tongue. By 12 or 13 weeks, the baby has fingernails and its own unique
fingerprints; all arteries are present, vocal cords are complete; the
baby can cry and recoils from pain. At 14 weeks ,the mother begins to
feel the baby moving. At 15 weeks, the baby has fully-formed taste buds.
At 16 weeks, it has eyebrows and eyelashes, and it can grasp with its
hands, kick, and even somersault. At 20 weeks, the baby can hear and
recognize its mother’s voice.
The most common types of abortion are the following:
