Would a d&c be the same thing as an abortion?

Sometimes: Many abortions are performed medically and some are performed surgically. The surgical procedure is called a d&c.

Same procedure: D;c and a surgical abortion are the same procedure. The difference is that "surgical abortion" is for ending a pregnancy. A d;c can be done for irregular or heavy bleeding and other indications.
