Childish Terminology

Posted in General at 11:25 pm by Clay

I think it’d be entertaining to begin referring to children as “post-born fetuses”.

This idea came from hearing “pre-born child” used in a news report, and the term grated on me — there’s this perfectly accurate term that’s viewpoint neutral. I find “fetus” a much better term as it’s a description of what’s growing inside of a pregnant woman; it doesn’t say whether the woman wants it or intends to kill it.
