RE: Abortion: My Body My Choice

in #abortion8 years ago

Same goes when you use the term fetus instead of unborn child.

Both sides of this debate use word play and rhetoric to make people choose sides based on emotions.

Sort:  

Fetus is the medically accurate term however. If you use unborn child you can take the next step and say "possible future nobel prize winner"

So the chance of a child being born is as rare as winning the nobel prize? I thought that being born is the natural unmolested result of pregnancy.

Fair enough. Embryo or fetus are the medical terms.

Women have been having both natural and forced abortions, i.e. miscarriages and abortions induced from drugs produced by natural plants, for thousands of years. I expect that this trend will continue for thousands more, assuming we don't kill ourselves off in a mass extinction event.
