Calling it an embryo or fetus is just a way to dehumanize a baby and make it okay in women's minds to have an abortion. It allows them to say, "I'm aborting a fetus, not killing a baby." (And I know this from personal experience.) Finally, it's a woman's personal choice to have an abortion or not, but what about the baby? Doesn't it matter if that child wants to live? If the Democrats want to talk about human rights, why don't they start with the rights of unborn humans.

What the hell are you going to do, stick your head inside the womb and ask it??
That kid's not going to be developed enough to know anything , much less what it wants. And it's certainly not going to be able to tell you.

You know this from personal experience?? So I'm assuming you've aborted a baby at some point. Did YOU ask the kid's permission first??
Oh for crying out loud. The thing isn't even self aware until well after it's born .
Tell you what. From now on, whenever I meet a pregnant woman, I'll shove a piece of paper and a pen inside her, with instructions for the fetus to write a short essay on whether or not it wants to live and why. If I get a response worthy of a pass, I will refrain from dealing out a falcon punch.
They fetus can't want to live, you idiot, because its brain isn't developed enough for it to have a sense of self. Also, fetuses have no rights because they're not human yet.
"Calling it an embryo or fetus is just a way to dehumanize a baby..."
- No, calling it an embryo or a fetus is, at a particular point of development, a fact.
Ooh, that poor little sperm that really wanted to fertilize the egg!
Yeah, the Democrats want to talk about human rights because the Republicans only want to TAL about the rights of the unborn. And LEGISLATE the rights of the 1%.
It seems odd, to me, to rant about the 'rights' of a fetus while taking rights and money away from vets, from the military, from social programs, from the poor...
Lose the hypocrisy, your arguments might go a little farther.
Hosea 13:16.
Why don't we start with a tyrannical abortionist: and War Criminal...?!
Because then, you'd end with your 'God': who didn't give a single flying fuck about the rights of those unborn.
Talking about dehumanising, the Catholic (well really much of Christian) churches are great at that often referring to non Christians as evil, satanic, etc. Also calling it a fetus or embryo is what the stages of biological development are you simpleton
Calling it a seed, an acorn, a berry, a fruit, is just a way to denigrate a plant and make it okay in people's mind to eat it.
This is the "baby" you're so concerned about. Ain't it cute?

The embryo/fetus doesn't have a functioning nervous system, and can't want or feel anything, yet.
When all born humans have a decent life and everyone enjoys equal rights, THEN we can start bothering with non-sentient potential human beings. Mkay?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
