re: No expectant mother ever refers to her unborn child as a "fetus."

Or as an "infant".

re: The only difference between killing a newborn and killing a fetus is that the one who killed the newborn waited.

In your opinion... which is a minority view.

All of which doesn't make abortion "infanticide".

JF, > A fetus is not an infant.

No expectant mother ever refers to her unborn child as a "fetus."


So what? No mother ever thinks her baby is ugly. Yet, there are many babies that are butt ugly.

JF isn't talking about emotions. He's talking about scientific fact. A being inside the mother's womb is called a fetus, not a baby. Of course, as a scientist yourself, you knew that.....please stop letting your ideology undermine the integrity of your posts.

Neither did the jury who convicted Scott Peterson of double homicide.

The only difference between killing a newborn and killing a fetus is that the one who killed the newborn waited.


Huh? You don't see any other difference between a living breathing human being and an embryo in a sac of special fluid that may have gills and a tail at any given moment? How do you make any sense out of anything?
