The Supreme Court decision in 1972 made distinctions between viability and non-viable.
The phrase "late-term abortion" does the same thing.
Certain abortive procedures depend on how far along the pregnancy is.
In all of these cases the term ZEF would be inappropriate because they each have clear distinctions in what stage of development is being discussed.
It's also inappropriate when used in a discussion with a person of a moderate abortion opinion because many of them use viability as their line in the sand.
But mainly, it's just clunky.
