  I ask because most women who've been pregnant, who wanted to be, understand that they were or are, if currently pregnant, carrying babies. Im trying to figure out your staunch stand that a fetus is not a baby.

  Im looking at your chart again, Adam. Let me point out that the picture representing the word foetus is of an embryo.

  Adam, whats the source of your chart? When I get back to my pc, Ill post the entire article.from.the.NIH. All your chart shows is stages of development. No.one is disputing the use of the.term.fetus.to.label.a baby in utero. Arent all mammals called fetuses while in utero post embryonic state? What BOTR.asserts is that a fetus is not ababy. Ive showed.very clearly that even the NIH uses the terms fetus and baby to.describe the human unborn child.

  This is NOT a religious country. Women, such as FHN, have no right to impose their beliefs on other women. Mind your own business.

  In case you didn't read either of my last posts, BOTR, I AM PRO-CHOICE. Understand? And keep arguing that a fetus is not a baby. The US NIH does not agree with you. Look at the post above. I have NOT said in this thread that I oppose choice and I have stated that I do not know what I would do in the position of this father and the rest of the family. Please, calm down.

  BOTR, try reading our posts. I'm pro choice and my stand on the question is not based on religion, any more than yours is. I can tell you though, that I've had two pregnancies and two live births. My doctors called my children babies, just like the mayo clinic and medicenenet do today. Sure, just like human beings go through different stages of development, infancy, toddlerhood, adolescence, etc., where bones and sexual organs are still developing, babies go tbrough the emryonic stage of development, then go through the fetal stage of development. Physicians and people still call the product of conception a baby, though they will sometimes refer to its stage of development. We call someone going through adolescence and an adolescent. The adolescent is still a child. A person's bones don't fully develop until the age of 11 or 12, but the person is still a human being. Though I find the thought of an abortion to be unsettling, I am very, passionately pro choice. You can protest until the cows come home that a fetus is not a baby, but medical literature does not concur. As some of us mentioned earlier, we dont ask parents about the fetus they are expecting, we ask about their baby. In case you just skimmed my comment, again, I am pro choice.

  Yeah, Adam, BOTR got kind of irrate about my rhetorical questions to her, after her insisting that a fetus is not a baby. I also looked up the Mayo Clinic's description of the stages of pregnancy. They, too call the fetus a baby. The fetus doesnt become a non baby just because it has malformation. No matter what you call this Texas fetus/baby, it's been a tough situation. I posted the medicenenet pics and captions to illustrate that yes, a fetus is a baby, whether we like that or not.
