The same medical terminology can be used for a D&C....if it aborts a pregnancy...
So to speak. ;-)
Actually, it’s even worse than that. The terms are applied even after a full-term badly botched child-birth. I re-wrote a section of the document I was supposed to sign that originally read “removed the effects of pregnancy,” which would have implied abortion, to read “removed the effects of child-birth.” The obgyn, though he delivered a healthy baby, had failed to remove all the after-birth, so the then-necessary D&C was hardly the proximate result of mere pregnancy!
