ResumoThe contentious issue of abortion is riddled with jabberwocky���terminology that is contradictory, obsolete, ambiguous and misleading [ [2] Friedman E.A. Pennisi J.A. Eschew obfuscation. Obstet Gynecol. 1996; 87: 795-796 Google Scholar ]. Both the lay and professional literature uses obstetrical terms improperly, including ���abortion.��� Recent press coverage of Dr. George Tiller's murder has added to this confusion, with misleading language such as ���late-term��� abortion [ [3] Stein R. New attention on late-term abortions. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/04/AR2009060404267.html Google Scholar ].
