      A fetus is not a baby. A fetus is not an unborn or a preborn baby or child. If your goal is to legislate medical care you have to use medical terminology. I will fucking call you out each and every time.

      A strawberry or raspberry also isn't a Berry, but tomatoes and bananas are. Is pointing this out helpful to a discussion about healthy eating? Probably not

      Jen's habit of publicly humiliating men for using the ordinarily-understood meaning of words which also have a technical medical meaning is grindingly tiresome. And by grinding, I don't mean using abrasive wheels, in case that wasn't entirely obvious (which, of course, it was).

      If you want to use that word in the discussion of a medical topic, you need to use it the way it’s intended in a medical context. Precision is a damn fine thing when discussing things that can kill people.

      Medics also use "unborn baby", when speaking to patients. As do many academic papers.

      Citation(s) required. I've never seen an academic paper using such terminology.
