Abortion. Is. Not. Health care. 

Defenders of abortion often call it “health care” or “reproductive health care.” They routinely use the term “abortion care.” They say abortion is a “medical procedure” and call drug-induced (non-surgical) abortion “medication abortion.” 

This use of terminology should strike everyone, including those who support abortion, as simply ridiculous. 

The purpose of health care is to preserve or restore healthy functioning. Merriam-Webster provides this definition: “efforts made to maintain or restore physical, mental, or emotional well-being.” Medicine, similarly, is defined as “the science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease.” Medication and medical procedures are about treating illness. 

In rare and tragic cases, such as ectopic pregnancy and uterine cancer, correcting a pathology threatening a pregnant woman’s life entails removing her unborn child—even though that child may not be able to survive. These situations are not at issue in the abortion debate. 

“Abortion is killing. Nobody can argue with that,” abortion practitioner and clinic founder Bertran Wainer acknowledges. “When the fetus is inside the uterus it is alive and when the pregnancy is terminated it is dead.”
