Is it "just a fetus" or is it a baby?



There is constant talk about after someone is said to be pregnant if they're carrying a "fetus" first then a "baby" or has it always been a "baby" and people are just making excuses to deem abortion as a wrong doing. Although I am Pro-Choice and I believe all women should have the choice to keep their baby, abort it or give it up for adoption, I strongly believe that from the moment the doctor or the accurate home pregnancy test says you're pregnant that you actually are pregnant with a "baby". People refer to it scientifically as a fetus but the moment that I found out I was pregnant I didn't go around all excited saying I was having a fetus.


 
I was instantly attached to my daughter and given time her father was as well. People seem to think that calling it a fetus lightens the fact that abortion is abortion and if you choose to have one it's still killing another human being even if it's unable to do all the things a newborn baby or a kicking baby in the womb does. I'm not saying the abortion is wrong because again I'm Pro-choice I'm just not siding with the people that say that it's just a fetus why should I feel bad about getting an abortion.


 
It's not about feeling bad. It's completely the women's choice whether she decides to keep her child or not however getting an abortion comes with some much baggage. From health issues to a heavy conscience. I know many people that have had them-even multiple and I don't talk down on them because they've had one I just correct their thinking when they try to use the excuse of "it's just a fetus".


 
The feeling that I felt being at the doctor seeing my little peanut of a baby on the ultrasound was unforgettable. I’ve never been more attached to a person in my life. To think that I created someone else and that they would love me unconditionally-possibly until teenage years. Then to hear someone to refer to their baby as just a fetus is hurtful. It's as if they think calling it that means it’s close to nothing so they have right to do whatever they want to their child.


 
If you're going to get an abortion I'm fine with that It's the woman’s choice but for you to dibble and dabble in to drugs and drinking and not know for sure that you're having an abortion or even attempt to hurt yourself in hopes of ending the pregnancy has to be one of the most hurtful things a mother could do. Getting an abortion is a medical procedure that can go wrong but in most cases is carefully done by a licensed doctor so for someone to take it upon themselves and hurt THEIR fetus it is not ok and never justifiable. Get the abortion procedure or pill and leave it at that. Trying to end the pregnancy on your own can hurt you and the baby. By doing so as a mother I know I could never forgive myself if I was to harm my baby while pregnant and then a doctor tells me it's unsafe for me to have an abortion and I have to go through the whole pregnancy with the guilt of hurting my own child. In a nut shell....do what's right for YOU, the right way!
