Pro-life? Pro-birth! They don't give a damn to those kids once they were born.
This is also problematic because this is often an argument used by anti-abortion campaigners. This is giving pro-life movement ammunition. A pregnant person/woman is not yet a ‘mother’.pic.twitter.com/Ylz1eV5n2A

Pro-life is not worried about the life of the person carrying the fetus

Being referred to as 'mum' by the nurses when I was actually in hospital miscarrying an ectopic pregnancy was not a comfort in anyway, I must say.

I am so so sorry to hear this.

This is so tricky as it’s such sensitive language. I hated that nobody considered my first (lost) pregnancy a first step in motherhood even though I viscerally did. But as you point out probably better to err on the side of technical rather than emotionally loaded language

Oh Hannah so sorry you had a loss. I did too before having my oldest and found the subsequent mother’s day so hard. As far as I was concerned I was a mother but it felt like society didn’t think that counted.x

It’s very difficult. I had 5 miscarriages before I had my children. I made a doc about miscarriage and some women had been called mothers when pregnant. Some liked it, others didn’t. I personally would rather be called a mother when I had actually had the child

I am so very sorry to hear Lisa. And yes it is important that the person has a voice and a choice. But so often, and most often, this is not the case once things have been written down in law.
