Actually, though both mean the same thing
to you, they don't nec'ly mean the same thing to everyone. So, some people probably use a term you would consider "less 'bad'" because it defines what that individual actually feels she is doing, you know?
Not everyone thinks of an abortion as murdering a baby, so not everyone is going to call it that.
