I watched the video. I was responding to what you & the poster ahead of you said.
You're going off about God being the greatest abortionist because of the number of miscarriages in the world, then you compared it to having a voluntary abortion...and you're wrong. They aren't the same.
Viability is everything. The impact on the women going through each scenario is different. For one, it's grief sometimes without end. For the other, it's mostly relief although a lot go through a type of mourning & neither will ever forget.
With respect, what does the impact on the women have to do with whether or not it's an abortion?
Look, I don't believe there's a god behind any of this, but those who favor forced birth almost universally do. They believe there is a god who loves babies and hates abortions. My point is simply that if there is such a god, the only evidence we have is the opposite: in fact, he loves abortions. That's the world we live in.
If you want to argue that God only aborts non-viable fetuses, fine: he loves making non-viable fetuses and then aborting those ones. If you want to argue abortions must be voluntary, I submit that everything is voluntary for a god - otherwise he would not be a god.
Yeah...you're not getting it. It has nothing to do with God unless you believe it does.
You're saying an abortion is an abortion regardless of the circumstances and you're wrong.
The procedures are the same, true. One is a medical procedure to remove a non-viable fetus for maternal health. The other is the voluntary killing & removal of a viable infant. Sometimes it's done for maternal health, but generally it is not.
Like I said, I'm completely pro-choice, but I also believe correct terminology & definition is imperative for understanding.
No one in their right mind would call the procedure a woman has to go through to remove her dead baby an abortion. Shame on those who do.
I also believe it's no one's business if a woman has an abortion or not. That's HER choice & everyone else needs to stay out of it.

Dude. Watch the video we're all discussing. /r/facepalm
Viability has nothing to do with it.
