The term 'baby' is defined at least one way as a very young child. If a fetus is a child--and it's very young, at that--I don't see why it would be inappropriate for someone to call it a baby.

A fetus isn't a child though. It's a fetus.

We identify them as children, therefore they are children.

It's 2023, Transphobe, get with the program...

Call it whatever you want. The emotional inclinations of women aren't dictative.

A child is a young human offspring. A fetus is both a fetus and a child.

The only reason I can see to distinguish between the two outside of a class room or hospital is to remove the human dignity of the child.

When expecting mothers announce their pregnancies, they don't say "I'm having a fetus!!", and they don't say "the fetus just kicked!"

"Fetus" is a latin term. It originally just meant "offspring" or "child", though it is used in different ways in relation to children and development. Getting hung up on using the term to describe a baby in the womb seems callous.

Perhaps a quick visit to one of the many dictionary websites on the internet would settle this. Let us know what you find.

Well I think that must have been the point of the woman getting an abortion, she felt as if she wasn't able to financially provide for a child.

So yes, if you want to outlaw abortion one would assume you would be fine with raising your taxes to help support all of the newly born children.

Pregnancy has a way of slowing people down. I don't believe there would be as many babies born as there are abortions in a year.

Cool. Are y’all marching for massive tax increases to pay for all the new babies too?

---

Taxation is theft. Theft is sin.

Even if we remove that reality, your statement makes no sense. A larger tax base = more taxes collected.

Fetus is a stage of human development. It is a child by any definition.

noun
an offspring of a human or other mammal in the stages of prenatal development that follow the embryo stage (in humans taken as beginning eight weeks after conception)
"adequate folic acid is important for the developing fetus"

Ok? Proves my point, what's yours?

quote:

---

compassionate enough to open your wallets to support the new child.

---

You just admitted you enjoy seeing children suffering.

"Opening our wallets" isn't SOLVING the problem of unwanted, starving children, it is exacerbating it.

Tough love in the form of very, very tough welfare reform and the cultural shaming of out of wedlock children would ultimately save millions of lives, but you don't want that.

You are ok with generations of children stuck in poverty as long as you can use that suffering to lash out against Conservatives from your safe space.
