There are two broad categories of abortions: spontaneous and medical.

Spontaneous abortions happen randomly. Some of the reasons a female will spontaneously abort include: severe genetic defects in the fetus, physical inability to carry the fetus to term (such as scarring of the uterine wall that prevents or limits placentation), uterine trauma or infection in the uterus, placenta or fetus.

Medical abortions are due to humans proactively attempting to cause the fetus to be expelled from the female. Some reasons for this include: severe fetal genetic defect (such as Tay-Sachs, Down's syndrome, etc.), inability of the female to carry the fetus to term (uterine scarring, etc.), conscious decision to terminate the pregnancy for personal reasons (financial, emotional, mental, social, etc.) or medical complications (ie, carrying the fetus to term may cause the death of the mother).
