people like to delude themselves into calling the baby(including head, hands, toes, eyes, brain heart) "tissue" but when the baby is miscarried, he/she is of course referred to as a baby....?

For Debi who says, it's not a baby yet, go to my 360 and see my pictures of aborted babies!

Katherine, don't forget they still have a chance at life. They can still make something of themself and not be ripped apart. I'd rather be unadopted and still have a chance to make something of myself then ripped apart.

The key for those folks IS to delude themselves to feel better about their cause. When they wanted a child it magically becomes a real human being. When it is aborted , they didnt want it so they rationalize it into whatever fits their need. Imagine in this day and age, women and men still encorage the scraping out of human life from its beautiful protected home inside the mother. You will get alot of deluded answers on this forum to fit their need.

Calling it "tissue" is a way of separating the person from the aborted fetus. If a person gets an abortion, she does not want the baby and is not planning for it. But if a person miscarries, her baby is being taken from her by no choice of her own, so of course she feels the loss.
It is amazing how language can ignite this topic. For instance, pro-choicers call a fetus a fetus, using scientific language to objectify the topic and make it feel less personal. Pro-lifers call it a child, infant, or baby when it is clearly not any of those things yet. The pro-life language is used to invoke feelings of attachment. No one wants to kill a child or murder an infant! The problem is that abortions do not murder children or infants, they merely end the life of a fetus--or a parasite, as some extremists would say. If a pro-lifer were to hear an extremist pro-choicer refer to a "murdered child" as an "aborted parasite," punches could be thrown. Ahhh...language...such a powerful tool.

Because depending on how far along the woman is before they abort there is actually a baby being aborted. The fetus has developed in to a baby.

Probably for the same reason that people who are against abortion never talk about the 100,000 unadopted children in this country who languish unloved and without families.

because I don't think you can abort a baby when it's that far into its...development. You'd call an aborted baby a fetus because it probably doesn't HAVE eyes or a head or toes yet. When a baby's miscarriaged, it's usually further in its development and therefore resembles a baby.

It is all in how you are raised and your knowledge level of the what you are doing. The pro-life movement had a campaign that says it all,"Abortion stops a beating heart." Maybe it makes it easier to call the fetus "tissue" to allow yourself to get through that trying moment. I am pro-"it's none of my business" as to what you do with your body. I have my beliefs and they are just that...MY beliefs.

Last I checked, the "things" that come out during a misscarriage are called products of conception, just like they are during an abortion.

To dehumanize the baby so as to be able to better cope with the decision to terminate the pregnancy ( another term used rather than saying killing the baby ).

Because they want to.

Because they like to convince themselves they didn't just kill a living person.
