-'''Illegal abortion''' is any [[abortion]] which is contrary to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is carried out, or sometimes the laws of the country of origin of the participants.  When performed in a non-medical or quasi-medical setting they are sometimes referred to as '''back-street abortions'''.   Illegal abortions may also be [[Self-induced abortion|self-induced]] (a "self procedure"). Both back-street abortions and self procedures are known for their associated health risks compared to standard medical care.
