[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again - that Rolling Stone article doesn't address the question.  It wasn't a legal or constitutional question, but a data question.  When collecting statistics on abortion, what 'counts' as an abortion. As a PP and I point out our medical records state 'abortion' but procedures secondary to miscarriage aren't what any sane person thinks about when having a debate on abortion. [/quote]

PP here who posted Rolling Stone article - agree it doesn't address that issue, but I posted that for the macro point on body integrity. Sorry if not creating a new paragraph implied that I thought they were related - I was rushing to get dinner on the table.

I also had what you both experienced - twice.  Once at 12 weeks, and once at six weeks.  They were "missed miscarriages", but they are still spontaneous abortions, because your body ended the pregnancy.  I had to have a D&C both times as well, and both times the fetus had already passed away.  Spontaneous abortion does not require that your body expels the pregnancy (sorry to be graphic).  Almost all medical records that I have been privy to make a distinction between elective and spontaneous.  Your D&Cs were not elective abortions because you no longer had a viable pregnancy.[/quote]
