Comments on: Fetus? Baby? http://justagirlintheworld.com/fetus-baby/ Design, Life, Culture...Whatever Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:47:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Cheryl France http://justagirlintheworld.com/fetus-baby/#comment-157887 Cheryl France Fri, 10 Mar 2006 21:22:26 +0000 http://justagirlintheworld.com/archives/2004/12/17/fetus-baby/#comment-157887 Whether or not the BABY wasnt supposed to be born it should have been called a BABY from the time it was found not in its mothers body. Its not the BABYS fault it was cut out of his mother body god rest her soul. It sickens me to think that someone would do that to a woman just to get her child. I am a mother of 4 beautiful boys and I am glad I never had to worry about losing my BABIES like this poor woman did. But yes I feel it should have been called a BABY sinse day one of it being found missing like any other missing child.

In my opinion there is time when a fetus becomes a 'baby', and though i don't know when that time is i firmly believe it. It has been a trend as of late to screw the mother over when it comes to abortion. I am totally against partial birth abortion, or late term abortion, but at the beginning stages of pregnancy, the fetus is a grouping of cells. Just as an arm cell is not an arm, but an arm cell. I can't say im an astronaut now, because someday i will be. I totally respect your right to believe that the cells are a baby and have a soul, but not only is there no scientific evidence to back it up, other people might not believe it. And thenkfully because there is a seperation between church and state, your moral/religious beliefs shouldn't efdect everyones rights. I think that people use the two words with out thinking.

Unfortunately, due to pregnancy complications, I delivered a baby at 20 wks gestation. He came out moving/wiggling his little toes and gasping for breath. He died shortly after. It saddens me that anyone would refer to my son as anything BUT a baby! He was bathed, dressed and buried with a proper funeral just like any other person who has died. We wouldn't have done it any differently. You decide...baby or fetus? I agree with Donna…a baby is a baby from the beginning of life inside the womb.

At 8 months it was able to sustain life, but because of the way our laws are written, they needed to follow the law. Thank god they did the right thing and issued the alert.

They found a woman, murdered, with stomach cut open. In the eyes of the law, this could have been a fetus, unborn child in womb. RICO- This isn’t a label we are talking about, it is a law.

I don't think there is a media spin. It is still being debated whether Peterson's baby was ever born before he died. Because no one knew whether the Stinnet baby was alive or dead it was more accurate to call it a fetus. The mother never gave birth to the baby, thus it came out of the womb as a fetus. I did notice that this story was written in an unclear way. "...was found slain in her house by her own mother..." makes it sound like Bobbi Jo's mother murdered her.

This story is VERY disturbing. When I read stuff like that it just convinces me even more that this world is heading to hell on roller skates. I wonder what the heck was going on in the mind of the culprit. Did he really believe that he could get away with such a horrible crime? I agree. This story is VERY disturbing.

I wish they would just call a baby, a baby. Forget this fetus label...its only used to dehumanize the baby to make abortion more impersonal and back up the "just a simple medical procedure" BS that is regularly dished out to women. The truly sad part is that so many women have fallen for it... No kidding. I wish they would just call a baby, a baby.

This makes Petersen seem more animalistic (don't get me wrong- he's a murderer and deserves the death penalty for his heinous crime), but the word 'baby' is used by the media to cast a spin of its own. ‘Baby’ has a larger impact on people since the connotation with the word is alive and cute, whereas fetus is inhuman and seems medical.
