miscarriage

Before proper birth, mothers can expel embryo or fetus {miscarriage}| {abortion}.

surgery

Before 13 weeks after conception, surgical abortions use either suction or dilation and curettage. After 13 weeks after conception, surgical abortions use saline solution.

human

The question is this: Are, or when are, fetuses human beings, rational conscious persons, or organisms capable of suffering?

Some say abortion is killing innocent beings.

Some say, at all times, let mothers decide abortion decisions, because fetuses are in mothers' bodies.

sentience

Embryos or fetuses taken outside mother's body can possibly be, or develop into, persons, so life and death decisions can depend on when fetus achieves sentience, personhood, or capability to suffer.
