(LifeSiteNews) — Earlier this week, the Associated Press (AP) updated its abortion topical guide in the AP Stylebook to urge use of the term “abortion later in pregnancy” in place of “late-term abortion.”

“Do not use the term ‘late-term abortion,’” reads a Twitter post quoting the recently updated guidance on abortion terminology. “The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [ACOG] defines late term as 41 weeks through 41 weeks and 6 days of gestation, and abortion does not happen in this period.”

“Instead, use the term abortion later in pregnancy if a general term is needed, but be aware that there are varying definitions of the time period involved.”

“ACOG only denies the existence of the embryonic heart when it inconveniences the pro-abortion agenda,” Dr. Christina Francis of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists (AAPLOG) told Fox News Digital.
