An alternative
name for
abortion. However, the procedure is slightly different. Whereas an
abortion is performed professionally by doctors, fetus deletus refers to a quick and hard blow to the fetus from an outside force. It may be voluntary, self-inflicted, or involuntary.
Female: My fetus died!
Doctor: Was it preformed professionally?
Female: No, this
asshole just came up and punched me!
Doctor: Hm...sounds like a case of fetus deletus.
