Adorable Pictures of Cute Babies Who May Be Legally Murdered
The BBC has this fascinating article about babies — I’m sorry, “fetuses” — and the very human acts that they perform shockingly early in their development. The story is accompanied by a set of remarkable 3-D ultrasound pictures of the bab, uh, “fetuses” from 8 weeks on.
Every time you see one of these pictures, think to yourself: it’s perfectly legal to pull babies just like these partially out of the womb, and murder them with a sharp instrument puncturing their little skulls. No more toe-sucking or yawning for them!

I’ve learned the hard way that it’s not PC to call them “fetuses” unless their mother actually wants to murder them legally. Once Mrs. X tried to get a special break on the grounds that she is the mother of my child. I reminded her that as yet, she’s only the mother of my unborn fetus. Bad idea.

I would like to call them “adults to be who cannot voice their opinions yet.” but that’s a tad long. I shudder whenever I think about such abortion techniques being legal.
So far I have no proof that anybody asked to be born. The unborn should not shoulder the role of scapegoat.
