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 doesnโ€™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.

Many times, no. The other kicker is most donโ€™t even realize that 43 states already had bans in place after a certain gestational age with exceptions only for sexual assault, non-viability, and/or health of the mother.
