Definition/ Pre-Research Soures

According to the medical dictionary abortion is defined as the following. Please use this definition to formulate your own opinions on the subject matter.

"An abortion is the premature exit of the products of conception (the fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta) from the uterus. It is the loss of a pregnancy and does not refer to why that pregnancy was lost.

A spontaneous abortion is the same as a miscarriage. The miscarriage of 3 or more consecutive pregnancies is termed habitual abortion."
