If understand things correctly, is not a matter of a natural birth going on, so maybe "birth" is not the right word for it, although I can see why whoever coined it did. It makes for nasty imagery, that.
Seems like a bad way of doing it, though, especially since it's done so late
I looked into it, just now, and abortion is usually not an option after 18 weeks here, surgical abortions are considered too harmful for the woman after like 12 weeks, and abortions are pretty much never performed after 22 weeks as the child is "alive" then, like.
Doing it that way after 24 weeks really seems wrong.
