What is abortion?
"Abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death." [1]
It means that abortion is used to remove deliberately the still living blabla or the already dead blabla (spontaneously or accidentally as with a miscarriage).
What is the difference between a human embryo and fetus?
- Embryo: Until the third month of pregnancy the organism is callled embryo. After that point, it is called fetus.
- Fetus: The organism after three months (when the major structures have formed) until birth.
Why three months?
The limit of three months (12 weeks) is not universal, some put it at 8 weeks.
