Baby (n) any infant, pre- or postnatal, whose existence is welcome and not seen as “punishment” for the mother. Often used to gush over celebrity offspring. Example: “The world is impatiently waiting for the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, to give birth the baby that will be heir to the British throne.

Fetus (n) any prenatal infant whose existence causes the mother complications, health-risks, or inconveniences. Often used to describe the disposable byproduct of the abortion procedure. Example: “Texas State Senator Wendy Davis is a media hero for defending a woman’s right to abort her fetus up to 26 weeks into the pregnancy.”

For other words it is a Baby if it is wanted it is a Fetus if you going to kill him or her

have you ever went to a fetus shower? have you ever asked a pregnant women when is her do date for her fetus? have you ever said what is your fetus going to be a boy or a girl?

you pro abortionist call it a fetus in a feeble attempt to dehumanize the little boy or girl so you can get to sleep at night

Precisely

The words fetus and baby has nothing to do with someone's personal definition of person. So if wrapping the word baby around the unborn will help pro lifers go to sleep at night go on ahead.

If any of you actually knew anything about personhood then ''dehumanizing'' the unborn shouldn't really affect you at all because something non human can count as a person with the right to life.

The abortion debate already moved beyond species membership and continuing to constantly bring up species membership and the words baby, child etc will not help your side out at all.

then explain why did the media keep calling the unborn royal baby a baby all through Kate's pregnancy why is it that a wanted pregnancy is called a BABY bump and not a fetus bump only time a baby is referred to as a fetus is when he or she is going to be killed

and lastly when have it ever been referred to as person hood rights? It is human rights?

you don't get to change the language to fit your misguided heartless agenda

"Baby" is a general or layman's term, so yes, you can use it to describe the unborn accurately. As that would imply, accurate, but not specific.

"Fetus" is of course descriptive of one specific stage of human life.
 
1. when have it ever been referred to as person hood rights? It is human rights?

2.you don't get to change the language to fit your misguided heartless agenda

1. Personhood is used to assign an entity rights rather it be human or not. It doesn't need to be called personhood/human rights at all. It should be just rights without a biological term added to it.

2. Not changing the language at all.

lol, you're making up your own definition of words.

A fetus /ˈfiːtəs/, also spelled foetus, fœtus, faetus, or fætus, is a developing mammal or other viviparous vertebrate after the embryonic stage and before birth.
In humans, the fetal stage of prenatal development starts at the beginning of the 11th week in gestational age, which is the 9th week after fertilization.

those definitions are a direct reflection of society when it comes to the difference in a fetus and a baby

No; They're biological definitions of any mammal.

This thread started adds nothing to the 100,000 messages already screaming "it's a "baby" and anyone who uses the word "fetus" is a baby killer!"

Words of themselves have no inherent value whatsoever. Obviously you don't like any of those 100,000 messages saying what you started a thread on, and instead think you have some original thought for which you want to go thru it all again over the word "baby" for the 1,000th time - only this time with YOU as the center of attention.

then why is it called a baby shower and nor a fetus shower? why is it a baby bump and not a fetus bump? have you ever asked a pregnant women when is her fetus do date? have you ever said is your fetus going to be a boy or a girl?

Its only referred to as a fetus if he or she is going to be killed that is the societies narrative
 
I don't give a flying fig what you call it - it's still a woman's right to have it removed from her body if she so chooses.

just asking a question that no one has yet to answer so add to the discussion answer the question why is it called a baby when it is wanted and a fetus if he or she is going to be killed ?

Because the word baby is used colloquially by most people. You really need to get to grips with basic language concepts.
No, fetus is a biological term which applies to any mammal at a certain embryonic stage.

Yours is just ideological/religious chanting, nothing else. Like just chanting over and over "Hari Krishna," "Praise the Lord!" or saying Hail Marys. For you "It's a baby! It's a baby! It's a baby!" Zealots believe that words of themselves are magical and of themselves make realities, when actually they are just words and nothing else.

They opened up another baby clothing store in a little shopping strip near us. Guess how many articles of clothing they have for unborn "babies?"

What gift should be brought for a fetus/unborn baby? NO ONE EVER brings gifts for the fetus, only for a baby when born.

That OBVIOUS distinction is lost to you because your religious chant/slogan is a reality all to itself - and actually reality contradicting it infuriates you.

Your OP is nonsensical on it's face. People refer to a fetus as "a baby" if they intend for it to become one. They don't if not.

No, they are biological and medical terms.

Why do guys call a woman his "baby?" And now let's debate whether or not that is accurate or not? THAT is the value of YOUR OP.

baby bump? why not a fetus bump? have you ever asked a pregnant women when is her fetus do date? have you ever said is your fetus going to be a boy or a girl? why was the royal baby referred to as a baby before it was born by all of the media? like i have said only time the media and society refers to a baby as a fetus if he or she is going to be killed

It not called a baby when she wants it and a fetus when she doesn't want it.

That's just silly.

Fetus is used to describe the stage of an unborn. Embryo, zygote, etc are other stages of an unborn.

Repeating your chanting and slogan doesn't make it any more irrelevant and nonsensical.

Actually, what my wife asked is "what gender is IT?" She never referred to "it" as a "baby. Until born.

"It" is whatever the woman wants to call "it."

Tell me why virtually no people have funerals for miscarriages since you think your slogan is a truism to everyone?

What don't you also start a thread raging at women who call a fetus "her little pumpkin." Doesn't that just make you blind furious!!!
 
People call other people they care about , pets, boats and their cars baby also.

Does that mean a grown adult,pet, car, or boat is a person?

Baby is a term of endearment more than a biological description .

Embryo and fetus are used to describe stages of the unborn.
Neonate, infant, toddler, teen, adult etc. are different stages of the born.
 
have you ever asked a pregnant women when is her fetus do date? have you ever said is your fetus going to be a boy or a girl?

I have never asked a pregnant woman either. I ask "When are you due (please note correct spelling of 'due')?" or "Do you know the gender yet?" Or "Is it a boy or girl?"

However, I still don't care what you call it, it's a woman's right to have it removed from her body if she so chooses.

Grammar check for the win.
 
I will play.

Pro-life - Christian people who forget about Jesus once a child is born.

Pro-choice -people who in general are personally antiabortion, but do not think they have the right to come between the decision between an woman and her doctor.

Oh, we're "playing?" Great!

Anti-abortion: Potentially reasonable folks that have an opportunity, at least, to legitimately say they care about the concepts of equality and human rights, that all men are created equal.

Pro-abortion: Folks that irrationally think it's okay to kill the human beings they find undesirable.
