[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to go ahead and guess that the bodily rights of the unborn babies (i.e., the right to actually keep their body) are not going to be given much consideration in this thread.[/quote]

A fetus is not an "unborn baby."

Why does that matter?  You can call it whatever you want.  A baby is not a scientific term.  A fetus, which is the scientific term, is a human life at an early stage.  People in favor of abortion simply don't like to hear it called a "baby" because it makes it more emotional for them.

Also, if you want to argue semantics (I don't see how it changes anything), I just looked up the definition of "baby" and its says "very young child" or "a very young mammal."  Seems to fit a fetus, which is unquestionably a very young child or mammal.[/quote]

Dp- I promise this weird hectoring about semantics isn’t emotional to those of us who trust women. The early stages of human development aren’t emotional to us. The health and safety of live, breathing, sentient women and girls is emotional for us. That is what we care about. We understand that an acorn is not a tree. [/quote]
