Abstract: Unsafe abortions, which are procedures performed in unsanitary environments or by individuals without the necessary medical expertise, pose significant risks to womens health and well-being. The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted the grave consequences linked to unsafe abortion practices. These procedures can be influenced by a range of social, physical, and biological factors, all of which contribute to devastating outcomes. A particularly illustrative case involved a 25-year-old woman who, in her desperation to terminate her third pregnancy, resorted to taking self- prescribed abortion medication. This led to severe bleeding and sent her into a life-threatening state of near shock. Her survival was only possible due to prompt medical intervention. This case exemplifies the urgent need for awareness and intervention regarding the causes, prevalence, and dire consequences of unsafe abortion in India, where such procedures remain a critical public health issue.
