- This would be interesting to see you document this, since the dictionary says:
- fetus (n)
- DEFINITIONS:
- an unborn or unhatched vertebrate esp.
- after attaining the basic structural plan
- of its kind; specif : a developing human
- from usu. three months after conception
- to birth
- (c) G. & C. Merriam

- and the statistics I have show that more than 90% of all abortions in the USA
- are performed in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
-
- I know you like neither dictionaries nor statistics; I'm taking bets on which
- you'll attack first. (The odds-on favorite is that you'll run away again.)
