I called a miscarriage a 'spontaneous abortion' for years (one of my first jobs was in hospital medical records department). I stopped doing it only because I had so many people bent out of shape about it, and screaming at me over 'abortions'.

I simply don't care what the reasoning is supposed to be, denying a medical procedure that saves lives and the quality of life is just simply wrong. Moreover, for a child under about 15, an abortion is safer than a pregnancy carried to term. Children who have babies have too many complications and the offspring is liable to die in the process. It's just wrong.
