Note
A counting plural: it numbers separate events, whether induced procedures or miscarriages, while the practice in general stays with the uncountable singular (debates about abortion, but a rise in abortions). Every meaning of the singular can be counted, so the plural carries the figurative ones too. Failed schemes or misshapen creations can be dismissed as abortions, meaning monstrosities or abandoned efforts.
