Talk:Definition of abortion (view source)

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 causing the death of the fetus then extracting it, I think it would be important to distinguish the difference in the common and medical connotations. -- [[User:JLauttamus|Jeff W.

Is not the page titled abortion not in fact the definition of abortion? I do not see why this deserves its own page. It should just redirect back to "Abortion".
