I still don't know why you insist that the common usage of the word "child" is a forbidden utterance from the lips of a pro-abort. Just kidding, I do know why - keep those undecideds distracted! My Webster's 9th lists the "unborn" in the first definition of "child". I know, Merriam-Webster is run by a bunch of commie-mouth-foaming fetus-freaks.

You haven't proven that untrue yet, Mark. I wasn't the one who first claimed that if abortion is made illegal women will begin to die in droves. No, this is a common pro-abort line. There is not a single bit of proof that this will be the case. Show me.
