miscarriage
Spontaneous pregnancy termination
Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb, typically before twenty weeks.
The term carries clinical weight but also deep personal significance: She had two miscarriages before her son was born.
A miscarriage of justice is a failure of the legal system to reach a fair outcome—an extended sense where something meant to produce good results instead fails catastrophically.
