People are getting mad at this tweet so I'm gonna do the hopeless thing where I try to explain what I meant, thinking people will somehow prefer to know my actual perspective over their more sensationalist interpretation:https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1193639984382631937 …

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!

people got mad because the tweet **read** like you were saying "if the fetus has the same moral properties as a born human, killing it in the name of autonomy would be OK"
-
if you were just saying something like "if the fetus can be called a human, it's ok to kill 'humans' (implicitly because fetuses have different moral properties from other humans)", not that many people would have taken issue (despite disagreeing)
