Never hear an expectant mother exclaim "The fetus just kicked"

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

This is the same reason a lot of more ardent pro-abortion groups fight against fetal homicide laws.

Someone brutally murders a pregnant woman and her unborn baby, and because they don't want to acknowledge the humanity of that baby, it - to them - should not be a crime to have caused the death of said baby.

Even if the mother had clearly chosen to have this baby, and that right to choose was stripped from her by some heartless thug.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam

I saw one of the references to "fetus". I assumed the baby had died because of that word. I would have used baby. But knowing what these people are, I assumed they used fetus simply because if the baby had died they could use the ambiguity (in the minds of the "privacy" believers) to avoid using baby. There I went again, giving these people the assumption of common humanity.

And what, these freakin' journalists think some magician said some magic words and "puff" they came into existance, full grown. Give me a break, they don't believe that, or do they?

As far back as I can remember, when my mother was  pregnant, she was always having a baby. Only the heartless low-life liberals would consider an unborn baby as anything less than human (fetus). 

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.

I may actually defend the MSM, and disagree with Mr. Bozell here.

If people were "looking for the fetus", would that imply that they don't know whether s/he survived the extraction?  I mean for all they know, the "fetus" might have been mangled as much as the mother was. Once it was determined that the baby lived, calling it a baby might be more reasonable.

It seems to me that saying "looking for the baby" might imply that it was known that the baby lived, when that was not the case.

Now, having said that, I would've preferred they said baby as well.  And then just explained in the piece that it's not known. But this isn't something I can manufacture outrage over.

Look, I'm not trying to be heartless. My wife and I lost a child through "vanishing twin syndrome", and even though this was at about 12 weeks into the pregnanc, I don't think of her as a "fetus" or even an "embryo", which might even be more correct, but rather a "child". We have a tree planted in our backyard to remind us of her. 

Anyway, I can see and understand the reasoning by the MSM on this one. I may not agree, but at least I am not wondering what planet they're living on.

Human history shows that when a group of people want to excuse the murder of a sector of humanity, they dehumanize it by calling it something other than a human being.

The pro-murderers of unborn babies have been at it with playing words for a long time. It is not longer pro-choice, but Reproductive rights.

It is not a human being, the baby is referred to as a fetus. Of course the argument from the pro-murderers of babies in the womb of a mother is that fetus is the scientific term. As I tell these wackos, then why don't you refer to the rest of humans by their scientific term?  idiots.

Just remember, in the eyes of the law an unborn baby has less rights than the egg of a turtle, eagle. An unborn baby has less rights than an unborn whale in the womb of its whale mother.

The wacked out left in America has forced unborn human babies to have no rights while in the womb of their mother, however, they have given countless of rights to animals while gestation in an egg or inside the womb of their animal mother.

Don't forget that these are the same wacked out, crazed out fools that do not want the mother to be to be fully informed about the decision they are about to make if they go for an abortion. The pro-murder of unborn babies do not want women to see what the unborn child looks like inside their womb. They have fought very hard to not allow the new 3-D ultrasounds. Yet, these same fools claim a woman that is making her own choice. How can you make an inform choice when half of the information is kept from you from the pro-murder of unborn babies group?

that explains the weird language

Ah, the phoenix of Hitler is rising from ashes. Obama wants a master race. Only the healthy will be allowed to live so they can serve the state. Then women will be forced to have genetically engineered children who will be perfect. The inperfect fetus will be removed and destroyed. This will be done. "The one" has spoken.

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.

Brent,

In a long history of excellence, this piece is the most poignant article you have written.  Your analysis is spot-on and original.  What an indictment against our "state-run media" and our unfeeling society!
