> Many women in the US are about to lose their rights to end a pregnancy EVEN WHEN THE FETUS IS DEAD.
No they are not. This is simply misinformation. Before Roe v Wade, women regularly had D&Cs for stillbirths or late miscarriages. No one is trying to stop that. This idea only prevails because a large portion of the populace cannot differentiate between a living fetus and a dead one, and assigns the same moral weight to each.
You appear to be confusing abortions and inductions. Both procedures end a pregnancy, but the former by definition involves the intent to kill the unborn child.
In the case of a dead child, the procedure is an induction that results in a stillbirth. Or, if necessary, a caesarean section. Regardless an abortion is impossible on account of there no longer being an unborn baby in that case.
It refers to both: “Induced termination of a pregnancy with destruction of the embryo or fetus.” As you and anyone else capable of using a dictionary can see, killing the unborn child is a defining characteristic of an abortion and differentiates it from other pregnancy ending procedures.
