A new term that is used to define Abortion Tourism is Circumvention Tourism. Circumvention tourism is defined as travel in order to have means of entry to medical services that are lawful in the destination country but banned in the home country. Circumvention Medical Abortion Tourism is now self explanatory.

Abortion Tourism, Medical Abortion Tourism, and Circumvention Abortion Tourism all mean the same thing when it comes to ending a unwanted pregnancy. The abortion procedure is performed in a highly safe, protected, private and rightful environment.

Women who have the financial means to travel anywhere in the world where abortion is legal and safe, will always do so.

For women who do not have the financial means to obtain legal abortions due to restrictions so severe or abortions are illegal, find unsupervised medical ways to attain their abortion.

This in the past meant finding illegal back alley abortion people using unsterilized equipment, coat hangers, sticks, broken glass, knitting needles, caustic substances, poisonous herbs and other methods to end the pregnancy. In many instances this lead to a high incidence of maternal death due to severe infection or hemorrhage.

For every 10 to 12 minutes that goes by, there is a woman somewhere in the world that dies due to abortion complications. This is totally unnecessary and a moral and ethical disgrace.

All women should have the right to choose what they do with their own bodies and this includes terminating their pregnancy if they are not ready to be a mother, raped, or incest has occurred.
