What are you basing your view of "most peoples' usage" on?   I would
love to see your evidence on this point.  So far as I know, I am
using abortion in the standard sense of the killing of a unborn
child.  Which brings me back to my question - what term would you
have me use for the killing of unborn unimplanted children?

Do you wish to disagree that it is alive?   I think it is axiomatic.

So, how does one measure this point?   And so one becomes human at
an earlier age today than one did 50 years ago?
