How long after pregnancy can an abortion be performed?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I went to the hospital for a check-up. I'm two and a half months pregnant. The doctor said the fetus has already taken shape. They said I need to have an induction of labor, but I don't want to be hospitalized. Can I have an abortion instead? Is the decision to have an induction of labor or an abortion based on the size of the fetus or the length of the pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The best time for painless abortion: It is suitable within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The earlier the abortion surgery is performed, the simpler and safer it is. Currently, the most appropriate time for the surgery is within 49 days of pregnancy, which yields the most ideal results with the least trauma.
