I understand. If you want it to be a baby it is a baby. If you don't want it to be a baby it isn't a baby.

Your Level of understanding is too low to even comprehend.

Then all you have to do is find me a licensed MD to say so. Doctors are taught the proper names for the body parts and proceedures and so forth. The word they use for what is growing inside a womb is fetus.


right....when husbands and wives go to their ob-gyn, the doctors never say the word "baby" to them, they only ever use the word "fetus." mr and mrs jones, your fetus is doing fine. mr and mrs smith, your fetus is a boy. mr and mrs Johnson, see that's your fetus in the ultrasound.

at the same time, a contusion is a still a bruise, a laceration is still a cut, the tibia is still a shin and all liberal dissembling and wordplay aside, a fetus is still a baby.

Usually those are "couples" who want to go to term, those who are happy they are pregnant.
All my three live births were babys, in actual fact, one was a pod, after I had my ultrasound at 14 weeks.
If I had wanted an abortion, I would have had one before they can sex the fetus on an ultrasound. Of course, I did get pregnant, after I had my tubes tied.
That nearly killed me. it was not a baby, it was a mass that burst my fallopian tube





Just curious, when you were seeing your doctor did he ever refer to the fetus as a baby?

No the surgeon said IT was killing me.

another thread readily digressing into the absurd.


What is absurd with an abortion thread discussing the meaning of the words "baby" and "fetus". What compels some to use the incorrect word even when they know it is the incorrect word? Would that not be the strawman? Calling doctors "baby killers" draws an evocotive image of active criminality with which to change the the discussion. Abortion is not illegal yet it's opponents say the foolish and illogical things that they say.

Like the folks who refer to a fetus as a baby and a doctor who performs a legal proceedure as a murderer?

If by getting sandbagged you mean she either misread my post or was in the mood to play stupid, then yes I did. But I was honestly curious as to how the doctors in Canada referred to the fetus since all the ones I have ever dealt with called them babies. And yes that also means I am calling bullshit on your claim "Medical doctors all agree that there is no such thing as an unborn baby." but you already knew that didn't you?

Death Threats On Abortion Providers Spike
In Wake Of Planned Parenthood Videos
"I'll pay ten large to whomever kills Dr. Deborah Nucatola," one person posted.
In July, shortly after an anti-abortion group aired an undercover video of a top Planned Parenthood doctor discussing the donation of fetal tissue after abortions, an individual using the name "Joseywhales" posted an ominous warning on Fox Nation.
"I'll pay ten large to whomever kills Dr. Deborah Nucatola," the person wrote, referring to the senior director of Planned Parenthood who was filmed in the video. "Anyone. Go for it."
The same person went on to threaten Cate Dyer, the CEO of StemExpress, a biomedicine company that procures fetal tissue for medical research.
"The CEO of StemExpress should be hung by the neck using piano wire and propped up on the lawn in front of the building with a note attached," Joseywhales wrote, according to a legal complaint filed by the National Abortion Federation in a California district court.
The person then posted Dyer's home address and offered "ten grand to whomever beats me" to her house, warning that Dyer "must die to save the innocents."
According to abortion rights advocates, Joseywhales' post is just one example of an alarming spike in death threats and violent acts against abortion providers, clinics and companies that work with them since the undercover videos of Planned Parenthood were released. Two Planned Parenthood clinics have reported arsons, anti-abortion protesters are showing up in large numbers at doctors' homes, and commenters on conservative websites and online forums are calling for the bombings of abortion clinics across the country, according to Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation. Saporta is so alarmed by the escalation of threats against providers that she asked the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to intervene.
"In my 20 years at NAF, I have never seen such a volume, intensity and escalation of hate speech, threats and criminal activity, and we would like to prevent a serious violent act from occurring," she told The Huffington Post in an interview. "We have enlisted law enforcement's help."
If history is any indication, death threats against abortion providers should be taken seriously. Two abortion doctors have been murdered during Saporta's tenure at NAF: Dr. George Tiller in 2009 and Dr. Barnett Slepian in 1998. Slepian was shot in his home after returning from synagogue, and Tiller was shot in the head while attending church services on a Sunday morning.
Saporta had worked with them both.
"I in 20 years have taken two phone calls telling me two of my member physicians had been murdered by anti-abortion extremists," she said. "I don't ever want to take a call like that again."
The heavily edited videos of Planned Parenthood were designed to incite strong emotional responses. They show Nucatola and other doctors discussing in a frank tone how they would preserve fetal organs during an abortion in order to obtain intact specimens to donate for medical research. In one video, a Planned Parenthood official jokes that she would like to buy a Lamborghini with the modest reimbursements her clinic receives from fetal tissue procurement companies.
Planned Parenthood maintains that it has done nothing illegal; a law passed in 1993 explicitly allows for the donation of fetal tissue after elective abortions and small reimbursements for the associated costs. The family planning organization reported that it receives no more than $60 per specimen, which only covers the costs of transporting and preserving the tissue. Five state investigations into Planned Parenthood have turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. But the videos have enraged abortion opponents, who claim Planned Parenthood is engaged in the illegal trafficking of fetal body parts for profit.
Abortion providers are staying mum about the threats for security reasons. A Planned Parenthood spokesperson said the organization is concerned about the safety and security of its providers in the wake of the videos, but could not comment on the specifics of the threats or the security measures it is taking. Nucatola could not be reached for comment, and StemExpress directed all questions to the press releases it has already issued on its website.
The Department of Justice convened a meeting of its National Task Force on Violence Against Health Care Providers in the wake of the videos. Saporta said law enforcement is continuously investigating death threats online as her organization finds and reports them.
"We would like to see this deescalate and not continue to escalate into a violent incident," she said.

I hope anyone making death threats against anyone else, is caught and found guilty. I support anyone found guilty of making death threats getting the appropriate sentencing.

You may call my opinions by the words that feel comfortable in your mouth. Until you can come up with a validation for your opinion it will remain just that.
So the next time you are chatting with your doctor and he refers to a fetus as a baby ask him point blank is he being patronizing to you because he percieves you to have a limited vocabulary or is a fetus medically a baby? If you wish to play word game please go find someone your own age because no adult on this board will indulge that sort of nonsense as you discovered with Lucy.

I was talking about the live births and I am having a hard time believing you couldn't figure that out on your own.

Not until the 14 week ultra sound. they were "its"... yanno most doctors dont or didnt use baby until the first trimester is over because miscarriages are more likely then.
Now my last live birth was 24 years ago...but my first was 35 years ago and it died at 5 months gestation, they called him a dead fetus., they wouldnt let me hold him, took him away to the incinerator.
Now
you wanted to make it personal, go right ahead.
I realise things have changed in those 25 years, but this is you ignoring the topic and bullshitting again.
The fire at the clinic has been ruled as arson, but you wanna ignore that part...
one of my kids was born in the UK the other two were born in canada. for what its worth.

I would have thought that the medics would refer to a 'baby' when, for instance, talking to the parents and when the latter want said baby to come to term. On the other hand I'd bet they'd refer to a 'foetus' or an 'it' amongst themselves, also with the mother/father in the context of talking about, say, an abortion. My feeling is that, for the most part, the medics don't want to involve themselves in the ethical or religious debates, partly because it's not their province and aren't qualified to do so. They're medics and want to practise their medicine.

Exactly.....they were strongly advised not to use baby until it was viable thru the first trimester. Most miscarriages....and abortions happen in the first three months...12 weeks-14 weeks. Or at least...20 odd years ago.

I'm sure I'll regret wading into this, but here goes.

Word choice in conversation is far from a precise art, so it strikes me as entirely possible that medical folk may refer at times to a "baby" still within its mother's womb. Hell, people also use "baby" as an endearment for fellow adults ("Who loves ya, baby?") and even as a term for projects of particular importance ("The rummage sale is Mrs. Smith's baby, so don't talk up any changes without consulting her first.").

As a wordsmith, I find this all interesting, but I don't see how it particularly informs the policy/political question of whether and when a woman can end a pregnancy.
