    What we really should be doing is normalizing the name “maybe-baby” for fetuses…“fetus” sounds too clinical. So people colloquially call it a baby, and that makes some people think of any stage of fetus as a baby, despite the fact miscarriages are extremely common and sometimes they just die randomly even very late in gestation…

      Calling it anything close to baby gives these people ammunition. Im fine with the clinical terms but if we really need a branding campaign let’s get rid of the words abortion and termination. Cell removal? Uterus purge?
