Talk:Definition of abortion (view source)

, 19:17, March 31, 2010medical definition; thoughts?
In the medical community, an abortion is the loss of the fetus by any cause. For example, a spontaneous abortion is more commonly referred to as a miscarriage. Though the word "abortion" is more commonly associated with a medical professional performing [[feticide]], I think it would be important to distinguish the difference in the common and medical connotations. -- [[User:JLauttamus|Jeff W.
