    A miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion. Well, not entirely.

    Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, spontaneous abortion is the termination by the body of the mother.

    The exception is cases where the fetus dies and is then ejected, iirc that’s considered a miscarriage but not always an spontaneous abortion.

    What we colloquially call abortions are technically induced abortions.
