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. -- Jeff W.
