According to leading medical authorities – such as the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists – pregnancy begins when the fertilized egg implants in the lining of a woman's uterus. Implantation begins five to seven days after sperm fertilizes the egg, and the process is completed several days later.

Since an abortion is the termination of pregnancy and pregnancy doesn't begin until implantation, what do you call it when a fertilized egg is terminated before implantation?
