a·bor·tion
Noun:
1. The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy.
2. A miscarriage.
Apparently you would prefer to go with the dictionary definition and don’t feel there is a distinction between a miscarriage and an abortion.
To me, there’s a HUGE distinction and I would never equate them as being the same. An accidental miscarriage versus the deliberate ending of a human life are quite different in my book. Which, btw, isn’t Merriam-Webster.
But now another emotionally charged issue can be stirred up. Why not heap more guilt onto women who have had miscarriages....
A miscarriage is medically considered an abortion which is why the original Hippocratic Oath says that he will not "give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion."
Sometimes you will hear a doctor speak of an "induced abortion" and a "natural abortion".
