No: starvation will not terminate a pregnancy. Women have given birth during famines. First, find out if you are truly pregnant. Then go immediately to a doctor to discuss your options.

Newly Pregnant: First of all, please do not attempt to injure yourself or negatively impact your health. It is very unlikely to get the outcome you desire, and will just make you sick. If you've had intercourse in the past three days and are worried that you could become pregnant, you may wish to consult a care provider about emergency contraception now. If you're confirmed pregnant, see an OB care provider.
