Abortuary.

Thanks, American Family News Network!

Now the major question: Can I use it in Scrabble?

I'm confused why the gal's undercover operation is called "The Mona Lisa Project"?

You'll have to add it to your Scrabble dictionary. I get really irritated when the online dictionaries don't recognize fairly common words - the version I play doesn't recognize "zen." I finally edited the dictionary and added it, because it was annoying me.

@4 isn't zen a proper noun?

Oh hey dig the Obama-McCain tug-o-war-using-a-screaming-baby illustration for this Moaning Lisa Project's mag, which they have entitled "The Advocate".
(http://laadvocate.com/) Have these people never heard of the other, more well-known magazine of the same name?

New?? They've been using that "word" since at least the 1980s when their cause celeb went from eliminating divorce to eliminating abortion. (It's a lot harder for their followers to hide a divorce.)

@4, zen is not an acceptable scrabble word anywhere, regardless of how common it is
