The most significant difference between abortion and miscarriage is intent.
- Abortion is the purposeful termination of a pregnancy, often through medical interventions such as medication or surgery.
- Miscarriage, also known as a spontaneous abortion, is the unintentional loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks of gestation. It happens naturally and without medical intervention.
While both events result in the end of a pregnancy, they are distinct in their causes and the choices made.
