Trying to control language so they can control how people think. What can you say if you can’t say fetus ? Basically have to say baby even though that would get hella confusing, which works pretty well for anti-abortion fuckwits.

Freedumb indeed. You know what though ? I have complete faith in the witty brainpower of the people who have to write this dumb report to come up with a clever way to make a fetus sound even farther from a baby.
