101. A miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion. Calling a highly offensive post highly offensive is "scold

"scolding"? Huh. Here, let me try again. Sometimes death happens and for a poster to assume that these tragic situations happen "Because the woman doesn't want the baby" is very offensive.

Not "scolding", just pointing out that this is very offensive, as have others.

(Spontaneous Abortion)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscarriage
Miscarriage is an unscientific term for an abortion that is the natural end of a pregnancy at a stage where the embryo or fetus is incapable of surviving independently, generally defined in humans at prior to 20 weeks of gestation. Abortion is the most common complication of early pregnancy. [1][2] Spontaneous abortion is a frequently used clarification to distinguish this natural process from an induced abortion.

A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. (Pregnancy losses after the 20th week are called preterm deliveries.)

A miscarriage may also be called a "spontaneous abortion." This refers to naturally occurring events, not medical abortions or surgical abortions.

Introduction
Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before the period the fetus reaches a viable stage, which is considered to occur at 28th week. However, for international acceptance, the limit of viability is brought down to either 20th week or fetus weighing 500 grams. The term miscarriage, which is mostly used, is synonymous with abortion.

The incidence of abortion is difficult to work out but probably 10% of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion.75% abortions occur before the 16th week and of these, about 75% occurs before 8th week of pregnancy.

Abortion is sub classified into the following types:
Spontaneous:
Threatened
Inevitable
Complete
Incomplete
Missed
Septic
