Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "流产" in Chinese language version.
It is important to bear in mind that some clinical terms can cause great distress and even anger. It is not acceptable to use the term "abortion" for miscarriage, despite its historical clinical prevalence. To the lay person, "abortion" means the elective termination of pregnancy and while they may have no theoretical objections to that procedure, they are likely to be distressed and even angered at its use in their situation. "Miscarriage" (qualified by adjectives such as recurrent, delayed, early, late, etc.) is easily understood and well accepted.
