Paper abortion

Paper abortion is a way for a woman to end or stop a pregnancy without using surgery or medication. It is sometimes called a cash abortion because the person must pay out of pocket for it without insurance. It works by having a doctor fill out some forms and paperwork, then the person must sign some documents. Then, the doctor must send the forms to a government office for approval. After the forms have been approved, the pregnancy can no longer continue and it is considered to be over.
