[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most insane part of this ridiculous thread:
Conservatives trying to use semantics to convince people that a D&C isn’t an “abortion” 😂

We live in the worst time line.

I’m pro-choice, and I had a miscarriage with a D&C, and I wouldn’t go and say that I had an abortion (even though that is the medical term). The accepted connotation of “abortion” is voluntarily ending a pregnancy. [/quote]

Precision of terminology is important. If the term abortion is fully understood in its medical definition then sweeping abortion bans would have to be rewritten. But GOP doesn’t want that.  They like the fear that the imprecision brings along because it makes the law even stricter than what they claim it is. Your procedure was legal, but there are extremists put there who would want to make it illegal.

And if we stopped demonizing the word abortion it wouldn’t matter to people what medical records say. [/quote]

Yes, let’s just kill the unborn and call it “health care.” [/quote]

The "unborn" don't even have souls. What's your problem with a woman removing these soulless creatures from their bodies? [/quote]

How do you know unborn babies don’t have souls? Do you have a link to a confirmation via a scientific test? Post it.

Why is “unborn” in quotes? Are we not discussing unborn humans? Are you suggesting they are not unborn? [/quote]

DP. I remember when my OB showed me the soul on the 20 week ultrasound when I was pregnant with my daughter. I thought it was her nose, but I was never good at those magic eye puzzles either, so ultrasounds really confound me. We never saw my son’s soul, but when he was born we realized he probably didn’t have one because he’s a ginger. Sorry, little guy, you’re cursed. I didn’t realize the soul was identifiable that early in the second trimester. I don’t remember my pregnancy app pointing out the soul being present then. It just said the fetus is the size of a plum and the organs are started and in their proper places. I guess it was implied that the soul was there, but I never really considered it an organ. Obviously I’m not a doctor like the PP.

“Unborn” is probably in quotes because there’s a better word: fetus.

The heart isn’t fully formed until nearly halfway through the pregnancy so the “heartbeat” is just cardiac activity before that. It’s funny how laws regarding healthcare are written around “common knowledge” and “accepted language” rather than medical facts and terminology. [/quote]
