In reply to the discussion: A fetus is NOT a BABY or a CHILD. Got that? Eleven things you will NEVER hear: [View all]uppityperson
(115,677 posts)41. A fetus is not a baby until it is a baby? Huh. How do you feel about abortions?
And the post goes on to give examples that never happen. It doesn't say people do that but they NEVER do that. It is not "examples of situations where people refer to whatever is inside the uterus as a BABY" but examples of things that NEVER happen.
ETA, rereading, I am understanding more what you mean. Since people NEVER say that, then what they are pregnant with is not a fetus but a baby? Hm.

They also confuse objective with subjective. Guilt is subjective, based on one person's opinion.

No, wrong again. There is no "baby in the womb" -it is a fetus. You are talking in abstractions.
