How to use "Abortive" in context?
There is no one answer to the question of when an abortion is considered an "abortive" procedure. This is because the definition of an "abortive" abortion can vary depending on the individual case, and what is considered an "appropriate" legal abortion procedure can also vary depending on the location. However, in general, an "abortive" abortion is one in which the fetus is born but is still alive and capable of being born alive again.
