Or you could have referred to the unborn as the unborn I usually have. Sons and daughters I think I only used once or twice but it is accurate. If you want I will try to refrain from using kids if you try to refrain from "lumps of sperm". That must have been from your special dictionary. If you want to use unloaded terms unborn sounds like a good compromise. Tim

Or you could have referred to the unborn as the unborn--rather than "kids" and "Children" and "sons and daughters", and conducted your argument above board within the English language and the accepted vocabulary of our society. Hmmm. Trying to remember the last time I heard a woman say "I'm having an unborn" or "I'm having a fetus." I think most say "I'm having a baby" or "I'm pregnant with our baby." That, it seems to me, is the accepted vocabulary of our society.
