The correct answer is: Twelve weeks
Intentional or voluntary termination of pregnancy before full term is called medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or induced abortion. MTPs are considered relatively safe during the first trimester, ie, upto 12 weeks of pregnancy. Second trimester abortions are much more riskier.
