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....
Just pointing out a fact. A word means what it means, not what you (or I) think it ought to mean.
The meaning of abortion as miscarrioage is actually the original meaning, going back to 1500s.
The present primary meaning is quite recent.
