It is evident from the arguments traditionally presented by supporters of abortion that they have no interest in medical facts. Medical facts are studiously avoided and slogans and verbal sleight of hand are predominant.
The common argument that the 'fetus cannot be a child because it is a fetus' is just about as absurd as it gets.
By this logic, a 'child' cannot be a 'youngster', nor can he be a 'youth'. A 'child' certainly could never be a 'student', nor could he/she ever be a 'son' or 'daughter'.
Why?
Well, it should be obvious to everyone. Because they are different words. They are even spelled differently as anyone can plainly see.
The sad part of all this is that so many gullible people take such rhetoric at face value; nodding gravely and applauding the 'good sense' of these semantic charlatans.
