Abortion: Playing with Words

[BarnesX.308]

Ever notice that, when people are talking abortion, it's always a fetus and never a baby. Conversely - have you ever heard a pregnant woman say "the fetus is kicking"?

[BenGarrett]

Sure. It's for two reasons: For one, regardless of what they believe, abortion supporters aren't going to refer to a fetus as a baby because they know that if everyone ever starts to consider and refer to a fetus as a baby, their argument is lost and it will be a matter of time until abortions are outlawed.

Secondly, most of them simply can't stand to think of them as real, live babies. Just like they can't stand to look at pictures of fetuses that have been ripped apart in the abortion process. I've posted pictures on here before and it usually shuts up those who are most vocal in claiming that fetuses are simply a lifeless clump of cells.

Yes i think it is to make then less then human too- the word games. Dehumanize them& its easyier to kill them. Call there killings a medical procidure does the same to.

Exaclty what i was thinking just the other day.....Come& feel our fetus hun kick?

Even a Dr dosnt call a baby a fetus when asking the mother how her baby is doing prebirth etc

Changing the words doesn't change the facts of biology, you can't spin biology no matter how hard you try .

"If you kill a fetus conceived between two humans you have ended a human life."

There is no logical rebuttal to that statement , I think that we can all agree with that statement without arguement .No need to continue this further .

Probably the same reason I used the term Cynomus ludoviscianis in a presentation for a Natural Resource Policy class. People get a lot less emotional when you propose controlled extermination of a member of the Rodentia family from certain agricultural lands than when you call them by their common name.

Ending a life is ending a life , you can't sugar coat that . No matter how you phrase it something dies .
