procuring miscarriage

Read a random definition: implied license by conduct

A quick definition of procuring miscarriage:

Procuring miscarriage is when someone intentionally causes a woman to lose her pregnancy before the baby can survive outside of the womb. This is also called abortion. The law allows women to choose to have an abortion before the baby can survive outside of the womb, but after that, the state can limit or prohibit abortion. If someone causes a miscarriage without the woman's consent, it is a crime. If a woman loses her pregnancy naturally, it is called a miscarriage. Sometimes, a woman may need to have an abortion to protect her health or life, and this is called a therapeutic abortion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Procuring miscarriage is the act of intentionally causing a woman to lose her pregnancy before the fetus is able to survive outside of the womb. This is also known as abortion.

Examples:

  • Induced abortion: This is when a woman or a third party intentionally causes the termination of a pregnancy. This can be done through medication or surgery.
  • Late-term abortion: This is an abortion that is performed during the later stages of pregnancy, usually after the middle of the second trimester.
  • Partial-birth abortion: This is an abortion in which a viable fetus is partially delivered before being destroyed.
  • Spontaneous abortion: This is also known as a miscarriage, which is the natural and unintentional loss of a pregnancy before the fetus is able to survive outside of the womb.
  • Therapeutic abortion: This is an abortion that is carried out to preserve the life or health of the mother.

These examples illustrate the different types of abortions that can be performed intentionally or unintentionally. It is important to note that the legality and availability of abortions vary by country and state.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
