Isn’t the ending of earthbound going back in time and preforming an abortion?

That was someone's insane interpretation of the ending of the first Mother game (a.k.a. Earthbound Beginnings). It's not as out there as the guy who filled the Silent Hill wiki with claims that it was all symbolism for circumcision trauma (yes, really), but it's still kinda nutters.

It's certainly a fan theory, but that's not a confirmed thing by any means. The location of the last battles does look the inside of a vagina, looking towards the cervix, but that's supposedly only a coincidence.
