People who support abortion use the term every single day: fetus.

Because they’re so desperate to dehumanize the unborn child, abortion advocates use the term “fetus” instead of a baby to describe human beings before birth. Calling the baby a baby would make the fact that abortion kills unborn children all too real.

Fetus is a Latin term that refers to a baby at a specific stage of development before birth. As such, doctors confirm a fetus is a baby and the word baby accurately describes an unborn child.

The Cleveland Clinic, one of the most prestigious medical centers in the United States, confirms that fetus is merely another name for a developing baby. The words are interchangeable.

“Your developing baby is called an embryo from conception to the eighth week of pregnancy. After the eighth week and until the moment of birth, your developing baby is called a fetus,” it explains.

But when the term fetus is used in other circumstances, the obviously silliness of the term emerges. No one has a fetus shower, no one says congratulations on your fetus, and no one says a mother is about to give birth to a fetus.

That’s the brilliance of the new ad from Focus on the Family — as it puts the absurdity of using fetus instead of baby into full view.
