When you have an abortion, you often have to get a DnC or diation and cuttelage procedure to scrape the uterus. Otherwise deadly infection can occur. That's probably why an insurance form would say "abortion" in the case of miscarriage, because of the billable medical procedure they have in common.
As for Stevie, if you believe the Vox article is accurate, since she said it's hard to give up four babies, I would assume she meant voluntary forfeits and not involuntary miscarriages.
But I don't think much of the article. It doesn't "sound" like Stevie to me. That's not to say I don't think Stevie might have had 4 or 40 abortions. Maybe she did. I don't know. Doesn't bother me if she did. I just don't think many of the quotes sound like anything she has said.
