The Pro-Abortionists refer to the child/fetus as "it", I have noticed that they also refer to small children as "it". While pro-lifers are not that callous nor offensive.

Maybe because the gender of the fetus is not known yet. The English language, unlike many other languages, does not have a word to describe a singular person that does not assume gender.
Also, maybe "evil" may not be the correct phrase. Many people compare aborting a fetus to killing a human being. From that perspective, your point is quite valid. At what point to we recognize human life?

I DON'T call an aborted fetus an "it"...I call it a murdered baby because that's what he or she IS.
harrison b. above is wrong. I'll give HIM or HER the benefit of the doubt that HE or SHE is misinformed. At the moment of conception, not only does the BABY have a gender, but also has his or her own unique set of DNA, and his or her own blood type, which may or may not be the same as the mother's. Before the end of the first trimester, the female unborn baby already has her ovaries and all of the egg cells she will ever have in her lifetime!
An unborn baby is a baby from the moment of conception. Period.

I only do if the baby was aborted early in the pregnancy, and I don't know the sex of the baby.
And I don't usually call it a fetus either. It's a BABY.

Because the sex of the fetus is not discernible at the time of abortion. I suppose one could take tests and determined what gender it was, but why bother? It's pretty moot as an issue.

because at that point it has no name or gender.
Could you ask stupider questions?
Because i certainly don't think so.

All that it has is "itness", that's "it".
