A stillbirth is when a baby is born dead for unknown reasons. (in other words, the woman had gone into labor at full or close to term and the baby died during the actual labor)
A miscarrage is when the baby dies for some reason before full term and is expelled by the womans body.
An abortion is when a doctor intentionally does something to the baby with in the mother to kill and remove it from the mothers womb.

I
know that a Stillbirth is when the baby is born dead. But it is also used to describe the termination of a foetus beyond a certain stage of development. A Miscarriage can also be described as a Stillbirth, incidentally.

So what Statikk was describing was an abortion. The doctor was intentionally doing something to kill that baby at near full term, which is illegal here in the states (at that state of development).

Exactly! It's illegal at that stage of development! Therefore, Statikk was just stirring up trouble, as what he was describing would not occur! Using Statikk's example to criticise Abortion is therefore ridiculous...

Yes, but I was talking about an abortion, which is made when the foetus is nine months old, so it is a baby and your point had nothing to do with it!
