Question

having a fetus inside of you ? Why is the baby only labled a fetus when he is aborted.If a woman in your family is expecting a baby.You dont tell her

"Oh I cant wait to see your little fetus"
"Dose the fetus kick alot"
"What are you going to name your fetus"
"Is the fetus a boy or girl "

Answer 1

If the women who has abortions had her baby referred to as a baby instead of a fetus she would probably not abort it..I think a baby is a baby if its at the 1st trimester or 3rd trimester...fetus just doesn't sound like a human life and makes it easier on the women who have abortions..

Answer 2

Fetus is medical terminology. You don't generally refer to your "baby" or "child" as a "fetus". You shouldn't be so sensitive. If you don't like the word, don't use it.
In humans, a fetus develops from the end of the eighth week of pregnancy, when the major structures and organ systems have formed, until birth. Once it is born it is a BABY.

Answer 3

rose is a rose is a rose.

i know it's a baby. are you guys so threatened by science because you believe labels are magical words? the bible might imply that sort of notion, but describing reality with language is not the same as altering it.

most of the time i hear people say "is it a boy or a girl?"... so, clearly we acknowledge the nebulous nature of the future with "it". why is "fetus" any worse? at least "fetus" is only used for larval humans and not autos and pens and assorted junk like "it" is.

Answer 4

I know it's medically a fetus but it's a baby to me.

Answer 5

I think fetus doesn't sound good either but thats just my opinion. What point are you trying to make though.. Abortion or How pregnant women feel? Or are you trying to state your opinion on how you don't understand the meaning of the word fetus? Explain your question better please. THanks!

Answer 6

Fetus is the biological name for a baby who has reached a certain gestation. If you don't like the semantics, take it up with biologists, not Yahoo Answers.

Answer 7

i do no longer techniques it in specific situations, yet I hate whilst mum and dad carry their babies right into a action picture teach. it extremely is such as you're watching a sturdy action picture, and the subsequent component you hear is wailing and screaming. it extremely is like take your baby outdoors, i'm watching a action picture.

Answer 8

It is the correct term for a what it is. Take it up with the doctors! And seriously you have some weird facination with abortions, so much so that you continue to post questions about it in the wrong section! This is the 4th one I have seen and I am reporting you. Please stop!

This is the immigration section not a place for your opinion's about abortion.This is about immigration.

On Thursday, September 21, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives passed three more pieces of legislation aimed at increasing border security and cracking down on illegal immigration. Each bill was based on similar language found in H.R. 4437, an enforcement-only measure, passed by the House in December of 2005. House GOP Leadership hopes the passage of these bills will be evidence that Congress is serious about securing the border and enforcing laws.

H.R. 6094, the Community Protection Act of 2006, passed the House by a vote of 328-95. This legislation will give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the ability to extend detention beyond the current six month maximum for criminal aliens who otherwise are unable to be deported. This in turn would end the practice of allowing violent criminal aliens back on to the streets simply because they cannot be returned to their countries of origin. The bill will also mandate the detention and deportation of alien gang members and also make them ineligible to receive asylum or temporary protected status.

The second immigration-related bill to pass the House yesterday was H.R. 6095, the Immigration Law Enforcement Act of 2006. This legislation passed by a vote of 277-140. H.R. 6095 reaffirms the inherent authority of state and local law enforcement to voluntarily investigate, identify, apprehend, arrest, detain and transfer to federal custody illegal aliens. The bill also increases the number of attorneys hired to help prosecute alien smuggling cases and streamlines litigation procedures that have thwarted DHS's ability to enforce immigration laws. One example is a federal court injunction issued in the1980's during the civil war in El Salvador that prohibits Salvadorans from being placed in expedited removal proceedings. The civil war in El Salvador ended in 1992.

The last immigration-related measure passed the House unanimously. H.R. 4830, the Border Tunnel Prevention Act, criminalizes the construction and financing of border tunnels. The penalty for such an offense is up to 20 years imprisonment. In addition, the bill provides that individuals who permit the construction of tunnels on their property are punishable by up to 10 years in prison. A person caught using the tunnels to smuggle aliens, contraband, drugs, or terrorists will be subject to twice the penalty that would have otherwise been imposed.

Other action on the Hill this week is the consideration of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (H.R. 6061) by the U.S. Senate. The House passed the legislation last week. The Senate plans to vote on the Secure Fence Act on Tuesday, September 26, 2006. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to:

Construct 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border;
Increase use of technology at the border, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, satellites, radar, and cameras;
Enhance border infrastructure, including checkpoints, roads, and vehicle barriers; and
Study the necessity and feasibility of building a fence along the Northern border.
Call your Senators and urge them to vote for all four of these bills:
