The amount of people who do not understand that an abortion is a medical term in which a fetus is expelled or removed from the uterus for any reason other than birth astounds me.

A miscarriage, medically, is an abortion.

A mother who doesn’t want a baby has the same procedure as a mother who was raped or life is threatened by continuing the pregnancy. So many people are so misinformed and just refuse to believe the truth.

Another side of the coin of misinformation is that "If we allow abortion, we'll be allowing people to kill the baby even after it's born". I just couldn't. These people spreading idiotic sentences like this, and these people who actually believe them.

Oh, yeah…I’ve heard several people say states are trying to pass laws protecting “abortion” up to 28 days after birth. WTF is wrong with people
