I meant that words are irrelevant - that at the end of the day we're both talking about the same cluster of cells with the same properties, and nothing changes if you call it "baby" or "fetus" - so if you say "sensational words" = the thing we're talking about, then sure whatever

But sensational words don't change the fundamental thing. If we say "kissing your kid on the forehead is sexual assault" then I'm gonna say "then I'm fine with sexual assault", because we're not here to fight over words, we're here to communicate about the underlying thing!

No, I stated a position with words that can be interpreted uncharitably and you're hopping on that because the uncharitable view reaffirms your position.

If the man was the pregnant one, abortion would be as common as cigarettes, people don’t care about the “baby” but they’ll use any tool they have to shame women for taking back control of their body

The response to this is crazy. I wonder what the response would be if you made the same argument w/ a point from their side. Suppose somebody said "gun control is murder prevention." I don't think they'd change their position on GC just b/c somebody said it was something else.

"I support x." If you wanna say that we should call x 'y', that doesn't change my position on x. I can even call it y! What matters is the thing in the real-world that they refer to.

The general response to this is another instance of the worst argument in the world
