Fetuses have umbilical cords; children do not. Fetuses do not breath; children do. As long as you (plural) insist on calling fetuses "unborn children", you will be blind to both the facts of the situation and the feelings of others. If you consider yourself open-minded and respectful of others (as one author signed himself, "respectfully yours"), please desist from using presumptive, prejudicial, and, yes, even irritating phrases like that. Thanks, Alan Silverstein PS: No one is perfect; correct me if I do the same in reverse.
