Amy J, It seems that you and steve are determined to argue terminology, not substance. There are miscarriages, where the fetus dies of natural causes, and there are abortions where a viable fetus is killed / aborted. In a very few cases, health of the mother may be at risk, but majority of cases are elective. I don't think there is any disagreement about miscarriages. Joe

religioustolerance.org The CDC defines a legal induced abortion as "a procedure, performed by a licensed physician or someone acting under the supervision of a licensed physician, that was intended to terminate a suspected or known intrauterine pregnancy and to produce a nonviable fetus at any gestational age." Also this: state.nj.us The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a branch of CDC, defines an induced termination of pregnancy as "the purposeful interruption of an intrauterine pregnancy with the intention other than to produce a live-born infant, and which does not result in a live birth. This definition excludes management of prolonged retention of products of conception following fetal death." Your miscarriage position is wrong. CDC statistics average 1500000 abortions a year. 80% are to unmarried women. Abortion is birth control; a matter of convenience. abortiontv.com I think the data clearly shows you are wrong and your opinion is based upon what you perceive as an exception to justify the slaughter of 1500000 unborn children a year average.
