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:

Maybe it is killing a baby, but if killing a fetus = killing a baby then i'm fine with mothers killing their babies.

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!

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"
