Firstly, fetus was not invented by planned parenthood, but it is used to dehumanize the baby

Second, I can easily define fetus: offspring. A human fetus is a human child. The only difference is that fetus sound less human, so the mother doesn't feel like she is doing something wrong.

It's interesting to note that the term "fetus" has been used in medical contexts for centuries, with roots in Latin. However, the way language evolves and is used can impact people's perceptions. For example, using "fetus" instead of "baby" or "child" could potentially make it easier for some individuals to distance themselves emotionally from the reality of terminating a pregnancy. How do you think language plays a role in shaping public opinion on issues like abortion?

Well, like I said, it is meant to remove the humanity from a baby, in order to make abortion look less evil.

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
