If the babie is death then its not an abortion. If the baby dies by natural reasons its not an abortion.
Drink blood? Hail gay? What are you talking about
Except that plenty of surgical abortions happen because the baby is already dead in the mother's uterus though.
Being dead doesn't magically teleport it away and it needs to be taken out for the mother to survive.
Which is, medically speaking, the same procedure as a surgical abortion.
From wikipidia: Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy
If the baby is dead the pregnancy has finished already.
The states that ban surgical abortions don't care about that and ban the procedures in talking about.
Not that you'd give a shit anyway.
Gdefinitions matter, and yes states that have banned abortion even have exceptions. Defining what abortion is is the main point. Cant put something in to law if ita not define.
But what does it matter if some people would argue that "woman" does not have a meaning.
