Ppl overlook the power of empathy & projection on the part of ppl who have gestated foetuses of their own & thought of them as 'babies.'

And we do this a lot. 'The baby is the size of a pea' at six weeks. 'I lost the baby' abt a first trimester miscarriage.

It's very normal to feel protectiveness & even love for an embryo thought of as a baby & deep grief if it is lost.

This matters because it shld influence how we try to get through to pro-lifers trying to obstruct reproductive freedom & change their minds.

It's no good telling them they're trying to control women's sexuality if they're not. You've missed an opportunity to talk abt gestation.

To try to get them to see the difference between a baby & an embryo or foetus. People are holding all kinds of misconceptions around this.

tough conversation. I guess I see embryo as unique genetic individual with development that continues... til at least 40+ years.

I'm not calling for an end to abortion, because that would lead to a lot of problems. I just don't like it.

life is complex and things are rarely cut and dried. I wouldn't take it away, but again that is a choice I don't have to make.
