1st and early 2nd trimester... - Trimesters -

Does anyone know, - What is the orgin of " Trimesters" ? Is 'trimester' a legitimate medical term that was used in medical science before the modern 'abortion' debates of the 60's & 70's (& to present)? - OR, is the term "trimester" merely 'abortion-speak'? Was "trimester" merely a creation of the proaborts and/or the 'Blackmun Court' with its Roe/Doe opinions?

It's an old term, the 9 month pregnancy (actually 40 weeks) is traditionally divided into 3 month phases.
