Yes. Spontaneous abortion is the medical term for all conceptus "non-takes" plus all miscarriages, put together. It is estimated that for every live birth, hundreds of spontaneous abortions occur, naturally. (Only a tiny percentage of all abortions are induced, medically.)

Since many individuals view personhood to occur at the moment of conception, there must occur with this the understanding that millions and millions of conceptus "persons" are being lost each year due to the natural process we know medically as spontaneous abortion.

It may be a difficult concept to grasp, for some, but it is part of the way life works, and even moreso now - since modern birth control methods are ubiquitous.

What are some reasons for abortions?

There are two broad categories of abortions: spontaneous and medical. Spontaneous abortions happen randomly. Some of the reasons a female will spontaneously abort include: severe genetic defects in the fetus, physical inability to carry the fetus to term (such as scarring of the uterine wall that prevents or limits placentation), uterine trauma or infection in the uterus, placenta or fetus. Medical abortions are due to humans proactively attempting to cause the fetus to be expelled from the female. Some reasons for this include: severe fetal genetic defect (such as Tay-Sachs, Down's syndrome, etc.), inability of the female to carry the fetus to term (uterine scarring, etc.), conscious decision to terminate the pregnancy for personal reasons (financial, emotional, mental, social, etc.) or medical complications (ie, carrying the fetus to term may cause the death of the mother).
