    That was exactly my point.

    If "baby" has many meanings, not all of which are relevant, why do you insist on using it when there are narrower terms available?

          Sam is a nominal Christian. He has no interest in "helping his brethren improve their rhetoric". His primary interest here is defendng godless liberalism.

              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  • I see there are all kinds of states starting investigations into PP because of these videos. One I heard on the radio this morning (sorry, didn't catch where she was from) stated that PP was definitely into illegal activities.

                    • I was at a rally today. According to the host, there are at least ten more videos that are going to come out. He thinks it's eleven, but definitely at least ten.

                          Because the term baby infers personhood onto the fetus.

                            Is this a baby or a fetus?

                              I would say it's a baby, however, the pro-choicers here would disagree.

                                This baby is 24 weeks old. So he/she should still be inside of mom. If there, he/she is a fetus. That makes no sense to me. We all know what's growing inside a mother womb. It's her baby. That's how everyone defines it. The other terms used simply designate a particular point of development. When a woman has a miscarriage, she talks about losing the baby. I have never once heard a woman talk about her zygote or her fetus. It's always about a baby.

                                The truth is, abortion rights advocates use whatever tactics will work to desensitize the public about abortion. So according to them it can't be a baby and it can't be a person. There are still some here that argue the developing baby isn't a human being!

                                Remember back when we were all told it was just a blob of cells? I know women who are told this today. Women are not given the full story about what it is they are aborting.

                                People can argue all day long on what to call the unborn. Without any doubt, a new and unique human being comes into existence at the moment of conception. This is a fact of science. Period. It seems to me that fact alone should be enough to know that it's immoral to kill the unborn.
