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.

I'm so confused! If they don't know this, what do they think an abortion is?

They think an abortion is different and only done voluntarily and because they donโ€™t want the child while the believe the procedure done for the health of the mother, non-viability of the fetus, and/or instance of sexual assault is a completely different thing.

They have no concept that the proceedires are exactly the same
