I don't particularly care for the term "fetus". It feels like a dehumanizing term that strips what is growing inside a woman's uterus of any value. Whenever i hear someone say it, i always think "did you mean to say 'unborn baby'?".

NYC - abortion capital?
Just read this article:
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/01/07/41-percent-of-nyc-pregnancies-result-in-abortion/
41% of pregnancies in nyc end in abortion. Of 87,000 abortions performed in nyc, 41,000 of them are performed on black women. 28,000 are performed on hispanics.
I generally try to avoid speaking about abortion because I find that talking about it is unhelpful. Not that i don't think that it is a picture of the utter depravity that is on display in our society, it is - but rather that the "hot-button" nature of the issue would provide for it to replace the gospel as the topic of primary importance.
