I just told them that it's when a woman gets pregnant, but chooses not to have the baby. She goes to the doctor and she's not pregnant anymore.
Make it very simple and if they ask questions, just answer them the same way - very simple with very few extra details.

that is basically what I told my kids at 7 (about the age they asked). My 9 year old knows more only because we discuss politics in front of him and he asked what Roe vs Wade and so we sat down and told him as basic and simply as we could. We told him our views and why we think it's important to fight to keep it legal and that when he's older, we can explain more so that it's easier to understand.
