More linguistic chicanery from the Left. Obviously, a fetus that was born is no longer a fetus. To refer to a fetus that was born as a fetus aids and abets the next murderous move: the sanctioning of infanticide as just another form of abortion, post-natal abortion. The 'reasoning' might go like this: The killing of human fetuses is morally acceptable; a human neonate is a human fetus; ergo, the killing of human neonates is morally acceptable.
But I must also lodge a protest against certain conservative extremists who think 'fetus' a dirty word. They think that the use of this perfectly good word somehow denigrates pre-natal humans or strips them of their right to life. It does no such thing.
Language matters! It is the foolish conservative who allows the leftist to hijack the terms of the debate.
