What's more humane?

https://www.worldometers.info/abortions/"Abortions worldwide this year:
8,468,795Sources and methods:
Definition: An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced. (definition from Wikipedia)
Abortion as a term most commonly - and in the statistics presented here - refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages."This year" refers to the period from Jan 1 at 00:00 up to now.
The data on abortions displayed on the Worldometer's counter is based on the latest statistics on worldwide abortions published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day.
In the USA, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion [1] , there are over 3,000 abortions per day. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in the USA (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. [2]

Abortions outside of rape, incest, or miscarriages are inhumane.

@ZeusAres42
Either one is humane according to your own subjective sense of morality.
Show me, based on your individual rationale, how a human killing another human via gun violence is humane?
Abortion isn't humane, its inhumane.
And I challenge you to show me, where in the U.K. that the Abortion of a fetus is viewed as 1000% humane?

@Dee
When humans kill humans with a mass shooter gun violence, the word Abort, is a part of the word Abortion, hence when a shooter, kills another individual in cold blood, that is an Aborted life.
Because when a shooter took another individuals life, that victims life was prematurely ended, or Aborted, or Abort, and or Abortion, the definition of the word Abort, combines all of those word usages together.
Look closely at this part of the Abort definition:
2.bring to a premature end because of a problem or fault:"the pilot aborted his landing"synonymshalt, stop, end, call off, cut short, ... moreantonymscontinue, complete, succeed, complete "
