Many women who have abortions do not have them because there is a medical reason to do so, so I would not frame abortion as a medical decision. Unless the woman's life or health are threatened it is not medically necessary to have an abortion. It is a social decision that the woman makes: to propagate or not to propagate. The procedure is a medical procedure but the woman's decision often exists independent of the practice of medicine.
